| Message | I think there is a strong case for devolving this power, cities can set their own civil defence priorities as they are likely to be highly individual. However, this can only work if all regions can afford the measures. |
| Date | 18:06:44, September 18, 2006 CET | From | Segue Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the Smaller government |
| Message | I only see a weak link between voting for this measure and voting for a smaller government however. |

| Message | Shelters is a matter of a global protection of our citizens |
| Date | 08:22:57, September 19, 2006 CET | From | Social Devolutionist | To | Debating the Smaller government |
| Message | The SD cannot support this measure, as it provides no guarantee that regions will take necessary action, or that appropriate shelters can be afforded. Civil defense is a necessary expenditure in the modern world. |
| Date | 13:31:45, September 19, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Democrat Party | To | Debating the Smaller government |
| Message | The LDP feel that these shelters will only be required due to a foreign attack or terrorist attack of some description which is most likely to be as a result of the federal government, thus they should be responsible for footing the bill |
