| Message | it's a little bit ironic that the so-called progressive party proposes bills that want to deprive the right of religious people. We urge the other parties to vote no. Zoe Olsen, Leader of the Movement Of Freedom. |

| Message | Religion has stood in the way of progress for centuries and should thus not be interfering with our state. We are not against religion, but we would like to keep church and state completely separated. There is no article in this bill that deprives religious people of their rights. Rex Mudro, Founder of the Progressive Workers Party. |
