| Message | We cannot accept this and instead propose a minimum sentence of 5 hours community service with the punishment fitting the crime if possible. (For example if graffiti was illegal, taggers could clear their own tags so long as the work totals 5 hours or longer) |
| Date | not recorded | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Minimum Charge Amendment |
| Message | Unacceptable. An example of what would happen if this was passed - A child steals a few sweats from a shop and is given 6 months in prison. |

| Date | not recorded | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the Minimum Charge Amendment |
