The two motions are recognised, however, it has come to the attention of the Chair that it is explicitly stated in the relevant draft post that the draft in question “would repeal and replace the current WA Act”. Noting this, and the fact that there is no mention in the draft itself of any repeal or replacement of the current World Assembly Act. I have come forward today to provide the following resolution to be included in a potential future vote to allow for this process to take place:
Whilst many may feel this to be a rather strange approach with regards to updating legislation. Noting that this is a rather large update to already pre-existing legislation, and the fact that the draft was not proposed as an “amendment” to the current World Assembly Act. I do not feel confident to put this draft in its current form to a vote. As such:
-
It is the view of the Chair that the following draft does not meet rule c of sub-section 2 of section 1 of the Legislative Procedure Act. Hence the draft in its current form may not be brought to a vote.
-
The Chair uses sub-section 9 of section 2 of the Legislative Procedure Act and delays voting on this draft until 2024-06-07T13:35:00Z→2024-06-10T13:35:00Z (3 days from now which is the minimum debate time before this bill could again be put to a vote, after considering the above resolution) to allow for active debate to take place on the above proposed resolution.
Whilst this may not be a popular decision within the Assembly, it is my highest hope that each and every legislator is able to see this from my view and is able to respect my decision.
Yours faithfully,
BlockBuster2K43, Chair of the Assembly
