NSG Senate Coffee Shop: 50% off Americanos [NSG Senate]

[Britanno]

Minimum of £20k. Are you serious? One, that's too low for a job that requires 4-6 years of university education. How do you plan to prevent the best teachers from going to private schools? Two, there's nothing prohibiting higher pay.

Guess what my job is in real life?

Now I am new to the teaching world, and yet I should get paid £35k a year already? I like the British system, in which you work your way up the ladder and then get higher pay just like any other career.

For example:

Do we have any laws about education or science? Maybe instead of focusing on weapons, we should focus on the unknown world of science...(Not saying that many of you focus on weapons)

Yes, please vote for Rupert Barnaby. Platform below.

-Target 2.0
-Inflation measure to be used will be RPI this is because it is the more compleate measure and more acurately reflects a households monthy expences. CPI does not include local taxes, mortgage interest payments, house depreciation, buildings insurance, ground rent, solar PV feed in tariffs and other house purchase cost such as estate agents' and conveyancing fees. Hence it is not a accurate measure of inflation as the above are for most people the largest strain on their finances.
-Change the Aurentine credit unit to the Aurentine Pound, and make it the official currency on its own. For a minimum of the first three months it will be pegged to the GBP to ensure stability and when our economy is stable I should be unpegged.
-Financial sector to be regulated directly by the Bank. No senate interference as in the UK with Labours disastrous attempts to make it more a government area of control with the FSA.
-Bank control all monetary policy.
-No more Bank bailouts. Those who are deemed to have been possibly reckless should face criminal charges.
-Tier 1 capital reserve requirements of 10%, Tier 2 requirements also 10%.
-Bank will use Interest rate control as it's main monetary policy tool.
-Commit to no Quantitative easing and will not ever commit to the printing of new money. Instead in dire circumstances the Bank will use Qualitative easing to help the economy.
-Bank will sell government guilts on the first Wednesday of every month in the event of a budget deficit.
-In the event of a surplus the bank will buy Gold Bullion due to it's increased value in a recession thus easing the shock to government fiances in future recessions by being able to sell this bullion at a price far greater than the bank's buy in price.

I checked that law and its amendments and none of it makes that illegal.

I know a way around this, as the Orion nuclear pulse units are a form of propulsion and technically not a WMD due to tiny amount of damage they can actually cause.

An act to amend the Judicial Act, Correctional Services Act, State of Emergency Act, and Limiting Legislation Act.
Author: Ainin [NDP] | SIMBEDS: Order | Urgency: Low
Sponsors: Dragomere [USLP], New Zepuha [NDP]

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Affirming that a judicial system lacking the power to interpret legislation is slow and inefficient,

Proclaiming that suspects of minor crimes at low risk of fleeing should have the right to be granted bail prior to their trial,

Realising that the State of Emergency Act does not include any provisions to increase the powers of law enforcement during a national emergency,

Hereby enacts the following sections as the Judicial Omnibus Act of 2013, as tabled by Prime Minister Alexander Ainin [NDP, Const. 299]:

The Anti-Loopholes Act is struck out and rendered null and void.
Person is defined as an entity prosecutable by law.
Actual person is defined as a member of the homo sapiens family.
Frivolous case is defined as a lawsuit that is purposely meant to be insufficiently supported.

Second Amendment to the Judicial Act
The following section shall be added to the Judicial Act:

Statutory Interpretation
14a. In case the terms of a passed law are unclear or otherwise prone to confusing, the Ministry of Justice, or an individual actual person, may request a hearing for judicial interpretation from the Supreme Court of Aurentina. If the court judges the case not to be frivolous, it shall convene, and interpret the meaning of specific parts of a bill, taking into account, by order of importance (from most to least):

1. Noscitur a sociis: the context within the rest of the bill
2. Author Intent: The intended meaning, to be declared by the author of the law in question under oath to a court of law
3. Plain meaning: The generally-accepted meaning of a word

Second Amendment to the Limiting Legislation Act
The following shall be added to the Limiting Legislation Act:

(8a) The right to appear before a judge within 48 hours of an arrest,
[...]
AFFIRMS no right is absolute, and may be limited within reason to maintain personal safety or the ordre publique.

First Amendment to the Correctional Services Act
The following clauses shall be added to the Correctional Services Act:

Any actual person suspected of a misdemeanour, delict or felony charged, but not convicted, may request to exit incarceration for a judge-given amount of time, by depositing an amount of money up to £50,000, at the discretion of a judge. At the end of the trial, the person shall be returned the money. The courts shall not grant bail to persons that

1. Have resources capable of escaping Aurentine jurisdiction
2. May be harmed by the public for particularly horrendous crimes of a violent or sexual nature
3. Are at a high risk of reoffending while free

Failure to return at the end of the bail period is failure to comply, a delict.
Attempting, whether successfully or not, to exit the country while on bail without permission from a judge acting in an official capability is aggravated failure to comply, a felony.

First Amendment to the State of Emergency Act
The following clause shall be added to the State of Emergency Act:

In the region where a state of emergency is in effect, persons shall not be under the legal protection of Clause 8a of the Limiting Legislation Act.

In case the terms of a passed law are unclear or otherwise prone to confusing, the Ministry of Justice, or an individual actual person, may request a hearing for judicial interpretation from the Supreme Court of Aurentina. If the court judges the case not to be frivolous, it shall convene, and interpret the meaning of specific parts of a bill, taking into account, by order of importance (from most to least):

1. Noscitur a sociis: the context within the rest of the bill
2. Author Intent: The intended meaning, to be declared by the author of the law in question under oath to a court of law
3. Plain meaning: The generally-accepted meaning of a word

Second Amendment to the Limiting Legislation Act
The following shall be added to the Limiting Legislation Act:

(8a) The right to appear before a judge within 48 hours of an arrest,
[...]
AFFIRMS no right is absolute, and may be limited within reason to maintain personal safety or the ordre publique.

First Amendment to the Correctional Services Act
The following clauses shall be added to the Correctional Services Act:

Any actual person suspected of a misdemeanour, delict or felony charged, but not convicted, may request to exit incarceration for a judge-given amount of time, by depositing an amount of money up to £50,000, at the discretion of a judge. At the end of the trial, the person shall be returned the money. The courts shall not grant bail to persons that

1. Have resources capable of escaping Aurentine jurisdiction
2. May be harmed by the public for particularly horrendous crimes of a violent or sexual nature
3. Are at a high risk of reoffending while free

Failure to return at the end of the bail period is failure to comply, a delict.
Attempting, whether successfully or not, to exit the country while on bail without permission from a judge acting in an official capability is aggravated failure to comply, a felony.

First Amendment to the State of Emergency Act
The following clause shall be added to the State of Emergency Act:

In the region where a state of emergency is in effect, persons shall not be under the legal protection of either Clause 8a or 12 of the Limiting Legislation Act.

What were the two conflicting clauses you mentioned earlier?

Judicial Omnibus Act
An act to amend the Judicial Act, Correctional Services Act, State of Emergency Act, and Limiting Legislation Act.

---

The Senate of the Aurentine Commonwealth,

Affirming that a judicial system lacking the power to interpret legislation is slow and inefficient,

Proclaiming that suspects of minor crimes at low risk of fleeing should have the right to be granted bail prior to their trial,

Realising that the State of Emergency Act does not include any provisions to increase the powers of law enforcement during a national emergency,

Hereby enacts the following sections as the Judicial Omnibus Act of 2013, as tabled by Prime Minister Alexander Ainin [NDP, Const. 299]:

The Anti-Loopholes Act is struck out and rendered null and void.
Person is defined as an entity prosecutable by law.
Actual person is defined as a member of the homo sapiens family.
Frivolous case is defined as a lawsuit that is purposely meant to be insufficiently supported.

Second Amendment to the Judicial Act
The following section shall be added to the Judicial Act:

What were the two conflicting clauses you mentioned earlier?

Nvm, I misread a word.

I would split them up as somebody may agree with the amendments to 3 of the bills but vote against because of the 4th. For example I like the changes to the JA, CSA and the LLA but would vote against because of the SEA. There is more chance of them passing individually than together.

Would you vote for it if it only suspended habeas corpus?
