| Message | We can support article 1 without difficulty. It make sense to promote education. Article 2 we can compromise on though we support the current value. Article 3 is not supportable and should be removed. Submit it as a separate piece of legislation so that it does not jeopardize the potential of the other two articles. A. Bondy, MP TDP Education Critic |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
