| Message | We are sympathetic to the intention behind this Bill, but believe different areas of the country have different needs, and local government is best placed to craft local housing policies. |

| Message | I am disappointed by your opposition to this but it's your choice. |
| Date | 18:36:49, January 08, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Privatisation of Housing Act |
| Message | We must also oppose this bill because of the discrimination it contains against households not classified as "low income" (often hard working families, saddled with debt and struggling to pay the bills and childcare). |

| Message | I am disheartened by the voting so far. Please consider the value of allowing all to own their own houses. One's home should be their castle. |

| Message | We have reconsidered our position and voted accordingly. At least this way local governments can't discriminate against hard working families in worse ways (and there are plenty of worse ways). |
