Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Free Federal Ronkonkoma	92	No	We cannot agree to this legislation whilst Article 3 exists. Also, Article 1 creates unnecessary burden on local business; our major polluting sector is Mining, which is already covered in the current law.
Hana Liberal	0	Yes	Funny. If 'to protect the environment' is Volent’s case, why did Volent oppose our bill? Environmental issues cannot be resolved if renewable energy is left out. However, we understand the direction this bill aims to.
