| Message | As athletics are a luxury, we see not reason to fund them at a national level. They caneasily be funded at a local level, which should bolster community spirit as well. |

| Message | They're not a luxury, they contribute postitively to the health of the citizens. Exercise facilities are a vital area for recreation, for the people, and everyone should get to access them. |
| Date | 22:07:22, June 15, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Conservative | To | Debating the Community Athletic Spirit Act |
| Message | One can play sports or run around and excercise anywhere. Sports clubs are not necessary, making them a luxury. Therefore I would argue that it should be up to local communities rather than a matter for the national government to worry about |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
