| Message | We would prefer not to see the cuts to Internal Affairs, and we are not happy about the increases to the Food & Agriculture budget, but on balance we think this is a good budget and we would support it. Percy Waterman (Personal Secretary to the Grand Duke of Hikirena) |
| Date | 23:13:58, April 15, 2006 CET | From | Sunshine Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2213 |
| Message | These cuts do not go far enough given the dire state of the finances. No department should enjoy an increase in spending when there is such an overspend in government expenditure. |
