| Date | 20:15:12, June 30, 2006 CET | From | One Nation Socialist Party | To | Debating the Regionalising Gambling Bill |
| Message | we oppose regionalising gambling. we believe that the country should move forward together. Casinos bring money and if some tribes are richer than others it could lead to a big wealth divide in the country, causing insecurity. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
