| Message | We must oppose this well intentioned bill, as it would be too restrictive on the rights of those pet owners who are completly responsible in their stewardship of our wild cousins. |
| Date | 22:35:43, December 12, 2006 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Safety From Wild Animals Act |
| Message | We held off on this bill to see if compromise was possible. While we would prefer to ban the ownership of dangerous wild animals outright, we shall change the bill to simply require precautions against escape to be taken. |
