Are "party" organizations a thing in WA? I was reading about some but the links are broken and wanted to know if this is historical only or still extant?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Also, how should one go about alerting the Assembly of this possible problem as I support the general spirit of the law, but believe that the letter is poor.

Repeals cannot legislate? Or do you mean an actual honest mistake and not the rule "Honest Mistake"?Liberimery wrote:If through a legitimate read action 2 in part or in whole conflicts with a ban on performing action 1, so that following Resolution A requires me to violate in part or whole Resolution B, and following Resolution B requires me to violate Resolution 1, which Resolution is recommended that I follow?

If you mean a contradiction in law, then I would refer you to the Contradiction rule. If the Contradiction rule is not sufficient, then to interpretive canons.

My meaning was to make my scenario narrow in scope to only those Resolutions where contradictions exist by no intention to end run around the older resolution. Trying to cut deliberate writing and judgement calls as the reason for the Contradiction. I am assuming good faith on all hypothetical parties.

I still don't see the relevance. No standing resolution contradicts another. If there were an issue of contradiction, it would have been addressed by the mods or, more recently, GenSec.

If this clash was missed before the second resolution passed, until too late for the mods to 'discard' it, then all that either GenSec or the Mods could do would be point out the problem and ask whether anybody wants to try repealing one of those resolutions.
Although repeals can't claim outright that the targeted resolutions were 'illegal', there is precedent for pointing out that they make it extremely difficult to comply with certain earlier resolutions.
