| Message | We perhaps have different reasons for doing so, but we will vote in favour. It is the company's right to chose who they employ and we do not always see unions as harmful, in fact they can do the job of government in ensuring fairness in business. |
| Date | 17:47:16, October 07, 2019 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the Shop Freedom Act |
| Message | We'll vote against. It is wrong to discriminate against people in employment, and it is wrong for unions to extort profits from non-members. |
