"How do you sleep at night with those satin pillows, Prime Minister?": Parliament becomes pillow fight battleground
Sophie Chakrawangsa | Tuesday, 8 March 2022
Thousands of protestors staged a no-pillow sleep-in on Hongkong Place in the middle of the Noules financial district on Monday night.NOULES | Opposition and crossbench parties grilled the government this morning in Parliament over its decision to vote against the proposed World Assembly 'Comfortable Pillows for All Protocol' resolution, accusing the Conservative-Democratic Alliance of having "lost touch with everyday folk".
Labour Shadow Minister of Welfare Cheong Hsiao-Chun (ZH: 蔣孝浚) led the impassioned reproval during Question Time, arguing that quality sleep is a fundamental human right. Cheong claimed that the government's decision was caused by its "unwillingness, and, in fact, inability, to commit to a programme of reducing homelessness and improving housing quality across the country". IPTC MP Fatima Mahawarna joined Cheong's criticisms, citing the homelessness crisis in Sainte-Aurélie which has affected over 40 thousand of the city's 3.2 million residents, while Greens MP Michel Edwards (ZH: 謝天仁) referred to the "cultural importance of pillows".
Prime Minister Thomas Grant-Lee (ZH: 葛李奉世) rebuked the accusations, stating that "Labour is seeking to widen the issue under debate" and that the housing crisis was "induced by the previous Labour government". Grant-Lee explained the government's decision to vote against the resolution was because "it is a poorly thought-out policy that was a result of poor consultation and poor drafting". Grant-Lee further argued that "the resolution would have no positive impact on solving any of the issues raised by the opposition and cross-bench".
Treasurer and acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Marie Lim (ZH: 林宇文) stated that "there was no practical way to implement and enforce the resolution as law without bankrupting the government". Lim claimed that "pillows were largely a matter of personal responsibility that were best handled by the forces of supply and demand in the market", to the booing of several opposition and crossbench members. Labour MP Stephen McMahon could be heard shouting "How do you sleep at night with those satin pillows, Prime Minister?", before being asked to leave by Speaker John Pereira for disobeying instructions.
The heated exchange in Parliament comes off the back of pro-pillow protests across the nation on Monday night, involving over 50,000 protestors in Noules and state and territory capital cities. Several backbench government MPs have alleged that the National Manufacturers and Retailers Association of Household Linen (FR: Association Nationale des Fabricants et des Détaillants du Linge Doméstique), or Associ-Linge, has been providing financial incentives (including cash) to attend the protests. CBA has not been able to independently verify these allegations.
Voting for the World Assembly resolution is due to be completed early tomorrow morning at 01:00 (CET). According to domestic polling organisation QuestionNow, 11% of those polled were in favour of the proposed World Assembly resolution, while 15% were against. The remaining 74% indicated that "they did not care" or did not provide an answer.

Federal Republic of Nacrad
Department of Education
To Inspire and Aspire
AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Regarding Secondary and Post-Secondary Education in Kongsi
Dated: 11 July 2022 - 09:39:23 Nacrad Standard Time
In accordance to Operation Hopeful Dawn, specifically Section III (Education), the Education Bureau seeks to further reconcile differences in curricula between the existing one in the former regime of Kongsi, and the one persued by Nacrad to facilitate integration. Specifically, the Bureau has sought to reconcile differences in language instructions, and in the depth and breadth of subjects taken.
Noting, nonetheless, that a vast number of secondary institutions have, on their own volition, transitioned to the Nacradian curriculum with the requisite English language enhancement classes, we note that a large number of secondary institutions allow their students to take the Advanced-Level (A-level) examinations which resulted in dissatisfactory results due to the lack of specialisation in the final two years (i.e. Grades 11 and 12). In regards to this practice, the Bureau has decided that, starting from Academic Year 2023-24, secondary education institutes are bound by the following guidelines -1. The Nacradian secondary education model, namely 2 years junior secondary, 2 years senior secondary and 2 years high school, is to be followed.
2. Schools may retain the old structure of secondary education, namely 3 years junior and 3 years senior, until the full transition a Nacradian model is scheduled in 2027.
3. Schools which elect to retain the old structure, if funded by the Territorial and Federal Governments, will receive Federal funding until 2025, and Territorial funding until 2027. If the Territory is promoted to a State, the State will inherit the duties.
4. Schools that follow the old structure in a 6-year curriculum will ONLY be able to enrol its students in the Ordinary-Level (O-level) examinations, which is normatively taken after the fourth year.
5. Schools that follow the old structure with an extra seventh year will be eligible to enrol its students in the O-level examinations in Grade 11 or 12, and to the A-level examinations upon completing classes for Grade 13.
Furthermore, the Bureau notes a disturbing trend among Kongsinese post-secondary institutes, including universities, colleges and private vocational schools. Notably, all of the 3 accredited institutes of Nanchang University, Polytechnic University of Kongsi and the Yangtze University of Science and Technology have maintained Schools of Marxism, while a vast majority of Colleges including former Universities deemed to not fit a satisfactory standard of teaching also maintain similar facilities. According to the Universities Ordinance of 1868 (Cap. 136)Section III., Article 13
13. Universities may not -
Omitted text
8. Explicitly promote or disparage any political ideology
Section VII, Article 6363. With exception to students under select curricula approved by the Secretary of Education, no curricula of any academic standing shall -
1. Compel its students to study credits, courses or equivalent which explicitly promote or disparage any political ideology
The act of maintaining Schools of Marxism that does little more than promoting such ideology, and compelling students to study courses which do not examine the ideology in a neutral basis regardless of their enrolled programme or degree stands against the Universities Ordinance. With effect from Academic Year 2023-24 onwards, and with effect on students admitted from Academic Year 2022-23 on, these measures are justified -1. No student, apart from those in select programmes approved by the Secretary of Education, will be required to take courses which promote or disparage any ideology.
2. Schools of Marxism, or any equivalent units, may not be maintained as a separate faculty. Staff under said units, along with any offered courses or classes, must be transferred to equivalent political science departments, or any other suitable department.
3. With regards to accredited universities in Kongsi, as coursework and lectures do not adhere to the principle of neutrality, that these courses or classes be struck as null and no longer offered as-is, nor may courses designed to directly replace the listed ones be opened -1. University of Nanchang
1. MARX203 Marxism and Kongsi
2. MARX226 Equality under Marxism
3. MARX296 Mao Zedong Thought
4. HIST231 History of Communism and Socialism
5. HIST209 Revolutionary History
6. POLI211 Imperialism and Marxism
7. HIST184 Oppression and Capitalism
2. Polytechnic University of Kongsi1. MARX1036 Marxist Revolution in Kongsi
2. MARX1009 Marxism and Communism
3. Kongsi University of Science and Technology1. MARX1663 History of Marxism in China
4. Failure to comply with the above regulations may result in the reduction or cessation of funding, or revocation of accreditation until rectified.
