| Message | I SUPPORT! How in the world do we think we can attract foreign investment? how can we attract tourist dollars? How can we be considered a world player? How can we expect others to work here? This is an insane law that needs to be repealed |

| Message | The Greens want things more open, so they choose OPPRESIVE control over strict conttrol? That makes absolutely zero sense, the bill loosens control slightly and is a step in the direction Green wants ...so they oppose it? what are you telling us? |

| Date | 22:53:23, June 30, 2006 CET | From | Federal Conservatives | To | Debating the border control bill |
| Message | I agree it isn't enough But this is similar to sdaying you are not paid enough, then saying no to a slight salary increase because it isn't enough. Nobody said it needs to stop here, but like having more cash today and trying for more tomorrow, we can take that STEP forward in the right direction. To stay where we are is foolhardy |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
