This is terribly written. In essence, the proposal would provide for paid leave in certain circumstances. The maximum duration of the leave is "one-eigth [sic] of all expected work periods within the typical fiscal period", i.e. about 6.5 weeks a year. Leave is provided in cases: (1) The...

omg same.

By voting in favour, you’re encouraging more such resolutions. The only appropriate response is to shoot it down for the harm that they cause.

If and when the Kreich founder CTEs, we can discuss the appropriateness of invading Nazi/fascist regions. For now, more likely than not, they’re just being given free publicity.

Being featured on the WA page, for literally thousands of people to see seems like a bad idea to me. RL Nazi groups would beg for exposure to this many people - particularly among a politically-active segment such as NS players. Why are we giving it to them for free?

As someone who is not a TNP citizen, my opinion on matters related to the game is not as relevant. However, this proposal touches on issues far removed from the game, and deserves a strong response. Anyone who is not a total asshole would agree that the existence of spaces, rooted in NS, where...

Thanks George.

I'm going to be frank here. Not because I have a particular stake in this situation, but because I think the reactions to TNP's admins' actions take our gameplay community as a whole two steps back. The first step back concerns the immediate safety of potential victims of harassment. When a...

I would like to offer brief comments, relating to the quoted passages above from the brief of the Deputy Attorney-General, that will hopefully be of assistance to the Court. I am unlikely to be fully across the entire procedural history of this case and the related ones by the time submissions...

I'd be in favour regardless of this work, but this exposes a serious SC problem. We're commending/condemning OOC work in IC terms because of Rule 4, and now we're commending stuff that without even acknowledging it under Rule 1. Sorry, this fight seems lost for the moment, but I need this rant...

Your honours (and may it please the Court), The question for the Court in this case is whether the Speaker has the power to extend a vote once it had begun. The relevant provisions are extracted in the other briefs, but will also be quoted in this brief where necessary. Speaker Owenstacey...

The claim that Nazism is a genus of socialism is ahistorical and has little basis in fact. Nothing in Nazi ideology, nor actions, supported a socialist ideology. Neither state interventions in the economy (such as production quotas), nor welfare spending, a socialist make. That the Nazi regime...

I'm voting against. The repeal proposal is littered with errors, and drafting it without a replacement is just laziness. The worst periods in the GA were just hyper-pedantic repeals, and going back to those days is not desirable.

Incorporating into the process doesn't mean incorporating anything imaginable into the standard training. I'm not sure where you'd be able to get a teaching degree IRL at least without some training wrt students with disabilities.

Generally in favour. The following is the controversial 'costly' mandates: I don't think it's as open-ended as claimed. It doesn't require every possible student to be accommodated in every possible school. I'm fairly uncomfortable with the title. The suggestion that people with disabilities...

I'm against. I think it's poorly drafted. First, the definition of extrajudicial punishment is very narrow. It relates only to punishments that cause "a state of immense distress for a person in both or either their physical and mental well-being, resulting in the sensation of physical hurting...

Bump

I would be against this. There isn't a case for specific governmental regulation targeting abortion, beyond what is required of any medical procedure. The claim that GA#286 mandates D&X being legal is quite dubious, given that a proposal that would have outlawed D&X was at vote last year.

The claim that GA#286 mandates D&X being legal is quite dubious, given that a proposal that would have outlawed D&X was at vote last year. Personally, I think that if anything GA#286 ought to be more sweeping, so am against the repeal.

I'm still not sure I can get behind this. The repeal makes some perfectly good points. It appears quite likely that GA#309 is inadequate in a number of aspects to protect those rights. There is nothing in GA#309, as far as I can tell, that would stop a new resolution that extends the rights...

As far as I know, GA#389 is the correct nomenclature, but you should verify that. My overarching issue with the repeal is that it attackes the resolution for not going far enough, but from a cursory look, I don't think that the resolution is a 'blocker' - nothing stops you from proposing a new...

Rubbish arguments for the against side. And I'd like to note that I'm so much against giving Nazis attention that I oppose CAIN etc for those reasons. But Nazis shouldn't have Lib badges on their regions either.

The proposal is entirely wrongly premised. Access to capital is not purely determined by the market's risk assessment. You also need to consider the side of the lender (or bond holder, or shareholder, etc). Overseas investors may be willing to invest on more favourable terms to the borrower...

Nay (but not a vote). 1) It requires WA states to adopt policies with certain aims, but doesn't actually specify the exact policy. The actual definitions provided (liberalisation, etc) are rather vague. If you attempt to give them a specific construction, they come out as absurdly broad. I'm...

What You're Doing Now: TSP and Spiritus Thoughts for the Future: Hopefully shuffled out to let other people have a go :)

The state is in the best position to determine the school curriculum, being a matter of significant national policy requiring uniformity. Further, the state is also in the best position to accredit teachers. There is no reason why any type of schooling should be provided by unaccredited...

I don't think the above point is really a well-made one. Such 'creative compliance' would run counter to the object of the resolution, and wouldn't actually be within its ambit. The 'tobacco companies' issue can similarly be resolved by just giving the resolution its correct interpretation...

I don't think I'll have the time to contribute - my access was mostly intended to allow for Comms/FA coordination. Good luck for your term :)

Congratulations and good luck. :)
