| Date | 10:44:34, January 14, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the WMD Deterrence Bill |
| Message | We provoke no one as long as we retain the law that we shall only use them if another nation uses them first. We have always believed in that portion of the change in the law that was made, and we pledge to retain that portion of the law-- which with the other parties that will oppose changing it, will be enough to retain it. |
