| Message | Suppose the “personal story or photo’ in question is one of a public figure meeting with an agent or a corrupted official or someone or something that could create conflict of interest.do you think the figure in question would allow that story to be published ? But it would clearly in the interest of the public,therefore our current legislation is spot on and needs no change we shall oppose |

| Message | Those scenarios aren't personal stories. If it has to do with corruption, then it isn't a personal, it's a criminal issue. The proposed bill would only require that personal stories receive the consent of the individual. |

| Message | To the NCP Speaker Lets do this the old school way, Comrades: I don't particularly care about passage of this bill or not. I will trade my Party's votes on this bill and help it pass, if you vote against the Treaty Withdrawal which I do care about. The SP is not above logrolling. What do you say? |
