1.1. R.D. of AID backs Plenary Committee Inquiry

Representative-Director of the AID, Madison Edwards, supported re-initiating inquiry began by the Plenary Committees’ Working Group within the Commision for Public protection, Appraisal, Inquiry & Scrutiny of Avery Kidling began earlier this month. The Inquiry began as reaction to public official statements related to security and privacy of online documents, namely mentions relating to hashing of illicit images. Initially, the questions of: 1) How frequent is hashed data in comparison to regular data in usual traffic; and 2) Is the content of hashed images purely illicit. Given responses revolved around technical difficulties in answering both questions, to which Madison stated:
“The provided reasoning for legal incompatibility regarding exchange of information internally” (…) “Is circular, as it implies, presumption of undue influence in all cases initiated (directly or indirectly) by AID-provided evidence.”
Due to the lackluster timing and oddity of the subject, a reasonable suspicion which arises is tha this issue might be exploited as a catalyst for conflict resolutions within the AID itself.

2.1. Constitutional Codification Stalled by Coalition Disagreements

Despite being on the Agenda since formation of the Cabinet on 9th of February, codification of the constitution has been stalled since, namely due to disagreements between the governing coalition over its contents. Namely, the ruling coalition (comprised of: The Center, SRP, SDVP and CGC) is internally disputed over the scope which the codified constitution should cover.
While The Center and CGC are(due to campaign) known to be in favour of codification, they believe it should be of limited scope, encompassing a comparative overview of the current political and legal system; The SDVP is positioned to be “maximalist”, in which the contents ought to be a general normative and substantive overview. The SRP takes a compromising view, under which the comparative contents are appended with broad, general goals aspired to be fulfilled in the future.

2.2. Public Housing and Healthcare Disagreements

If you recall, an agreement regarding the last major Act to pass was a key reason for its sucess, which had fixated the coming Agenda as to include discussions regarding environmental issues as to gain non-obstructive approval from SRP and NNP MPs. It has also been on the Agenda for ~1 month, though progress in these areas has been stalled, as a result of (formerly comprising “Praxis” wing in the P3) UML-SDVP disagreements.
This general obstruction is the result of mutually-sabotaging activity from Executive Officer for Public Health and Housing (Mark Bourke of the SDVP) and HM Shadow Governments Head of Committee of Education (Clem Irvin of the UML). While this arrangement might seem obtuse, a key reminder is that filibustering is not prohibited by any legislation enacted since the inauguration of this Parliament on 9th of February.
