| Message | Should the government be scrutinizing every communication by a church to judge whether it is in fact evangelism? The IPC submits that te government has no business scrutinizing speech of any kind. In the name of free speech and free religion, let's end this practice at once. |

| Date | 04:11:16, July 24, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the Freedom of Religious Speech Act |
| Message | The government would not be scrutinising communications from churches, as only personal evangelism is currently permitted. We support individual speech rights, but not the right of political or religious organisations to commercially advertise themselves. The IGP stands opposed. |
