Message | The legislation presented here will allow the government to target support to those who need it the most, rather than subsidising wealthy families who could afford to support themselves. In addition, it will ensure that the role of public institutions in the higher education is enshrined in law. Eric Blanke Opposition Education and Culture Spokesperson |

Message | While we agree with article one article two is simply disgracefull. Under no circumstances should our students be subject to fear of having to pay back large sums of money. We therefor reject this proposal. Bryan Rodstad, Kanzler of the Confederacy |
