| Message | A truly despicable bill. We would especially like to know why you believe the government should have the right to decide who can appeal to higher courts. As a party who consistently warn about communist-like state interfearence (esp in things such as the media) why do you want to give the state such unbridled power to interfere with the justice system? |
