SR 113-24: Judicial Reform Amendment (Passed)

[Blair]

The court has been the one part of the game since 2015 which has not been buggered, defanged or meddled with to the point of ruining it.

Term limits are wrong for the court, when it’s very purpose is to allow experienced, skilled or ex players to interpret the law and act as a safety valve on the day to day whims of players and both political parties, and their plots.

The court is a non political body- I ruled the opposite way to Windjammer on a case about Labor! I had very long arguments with him about the game because we read the rules and the law differently.

This new proposal is very misguided and as someone who has not been involved in anything happening here for what the last 12 months I very much hope that we don’t embark on a reform which will see the court have stupidly high turnover and get filled with people who are unsuitable for the job.

The labor party once had a super majority and we could have stacked the courts but we didn’t for a very good reason as we knew what it leads to.
