 * **What are your feelings about this issue?**
 * My feeling about this issue are very strong because I believe that people have a right to know what's going on in their country and the right to show things to other countries if they want to without fear of arrest or prosecution. //Troy_os//
 * My feeling is that this isn't an issue just to be waved away but the high authority like the government should take notice and do something about it. //Samatt//
 * My feelings about this issue is that this is very unfair because some countries are allowed freedom of speech, whereas some other countries can not. Everyone should have the right to know what they need to know and there shall be no secrets hidden in their own countries. //Sunnykate08//
 * //M//y feelings about this issue is that it is unfair since other people can share their opinions out and protest, but some other countries can not. //JNdaydreaming//
 * **Why do you feel this way?**
 * I feel this way because without the ability to speak freely many of the great things that have happened would not be today if people were not aloud to speak freely like women being aloud to vote. //Troy_os//
 * I feel this way because if people can say what they think a country will work better together. Samatt
 * I feel this way because without anyone sharing their words to their own country, this world would be filled with secrets and people can be murdered for the sake of it, when other countries are lucky enough not to get murdered at all. //Sunnykate08//
 * I feel this way because if there was no freedom of speech, then they will keep all their opinions inside them, and if they protest then they will get injured and harmed. //JNdaydreaming// || __Green Hat__

 * **What things should the government do to ensure that this issue is addressed?**
 * The government should spread it on the news, newspaper, or we could send our facts and issues and inform him even more and convince him to spread the word.
 * **What agencies and organisations are there in New Zealand or Auckland that people who are affected by this issue can go to for help or support?**

 * **Record the different hats you have used during your entire Inquiry process and give a brief explanation, e.g. White Hat: We used this in all stages, particularly Knowledge Saturation, Essential Questioning and Investigate. We had to find out all the facts we could about Child Labour and use them to write questions to investigate further**.
