| Message | Whilst we in the Manion Party agree that some of the policies above should be moderated, the outline tendered is simply a regression to the previous, equally unsuitable position. In order for us to support this bill, at this time, a more moderate stance would be needed, particularly in proposals 1 and 2. |

| Message | Axis Mundi Revolution!, perhaps not in TOO surprising a twist of fate, does not feel capable of supporting this legislation, at this time. |
