Omnibus Repeal Motion
-
"I would like to start by thanking Cllr Firoux for the proposal he has laid before us today - it is indeed great to see Inimicus is not alone in desiring to end unncessary red tape and conflicting legislation eminating from this estimable body.
I think the least controversial parts of Cllr Firoux' proposal are Acts III and IV of his repeal bill, the European Finance Agency and Committee Reform Acts, respectively. I doubt there will be anyone in this room who would not support the repeal of these Acts as they have no functional significance in the present day and age and have, wisely, been replaced by more effective institutions in recent times.
I will leave the debate on the Common Culture and Educaton Act to those Cllrs more familiar with the text of the legislation, although I am convinced by Cllr Firoux' reasoning on this bill, too. Instead, I want to focus on the Refugee Protection Act. Inimicus, as a nation bordering the war-struck nation of Dromund Kaas, is directly involved in the hosting and transfer of thousands of destitute refugees resulting from this dreadful conflict, and I can with all honesty admit that the introduction of this Act has not changed our approach to these refugees one bit. I would particularly draw your attention to Section I (2e) of this act, which stipulates:
Nothing in this resolution shall place any restrictions on the right of member nations to grant asylum to any person they so wish; member nations are encouraged to apply greater and more liberal protections for refugees than mandated in this resolution, and neither shall this resolution be interpreted to compel any nation to grant asylum to any person.
Then what purpose does this Act serve? The Inimician government, for one, is confident about its approach to refugees, and never felt compelled by this Act to change its approach - because the Act does not legislate for such changes. I therefore fully support its repeal and Cllr Firoux can be confident the Inimician government will vote for this proposal.
