| Message | Brandon Big Hawk, Shadown Minister for Agriculture: "Talmoria has a long and troubled history, dating back to the days of apartheid, regarding agriculture. It is essential that we democratize agriculture and return power to the people, seizing it from the powerful agrobusiness conglomerates. This bill would nationalize all agricultural output and regulate it to ensure the people of Talmoria receive the greatest benefit for their historic contributions to this industry." |

| Message | Yuri Alderidge, Leader of the Opposition: "Once again, we see the pattern repeat itself. The Boro Bloc seeks to address the horrors inflicted upon Talmoria by an oppressive government by ceding those powers back to that selfsame government. A government which owns industry can set whatever terms for industry it wishes. Let us keep that power out of our government's hands." |

| Message | Brandon Big Hawk, Deputy General Secretary of the United Boroist Cadre, Portfolio of Agriculture: "Madame, the horrors of an apartheid system was created by government - but it was done so do benefit private capital, a landed gentry, and a racist minority. That is the system that you insist on maintaining. Protecting the wealth and land holdings of a few at the expense of the masses of Talmoria who have access to neither. The Black Bloc may be moral reprobates and gangsters of the highest order, but this legislation would still kick the teeth out of the landed gentry and their henchmen in agrobusiness. That is a moral good - regardless of who manages the collectivization." |
