| Message | I assume that 'direct discipline' = corporal punishment, because if it excludes detentions, being kept behind after school, exclusion and possible expulsion I am not for it. |

| Message | We're currently unsure on this bill. If it means no physical punishments (aka corporal) then certainly, otherwise... we're uncertain. |

| Date | 15:01:33, July 06, 2005 CET | From | Ruthlessly Random Party | To | Debating the No Corporal Punishment Bill |
| Message | We are for. I hope this includes running extra miles and push-ups as these are physical abuses even if without contact. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
