| Message | Mr Speaker, This government has been a total disaster. They can't agree with themselves over how to rule the country, now we learn that the social democrats and their communist friends wish to weaken our wonderful Defense force. Our military should never be in the hands of these two radical parties. Without our power the world will be a less safe place. |
| Date | 19:27:09, June 29, 2019 CET | From | White Rose | To | Debating the Military Policy Act |
| Message | Mr Speaker, We cannot agree to reduce the ability of our defence forces without a Terrawide agreement to do so. Unfortunately, we cannot support this bill because the world is more dangerous than we would like. -Duke Brian Weston |
