I thought I removed that bit, Jambles. As sponsor of amendment, it wasn't my intended meaning (see my other instances of removal of court related references as proof).

4.) The Speaker shall have authority to correct grammar and formatting of legislation, provided that such technical changes do not alter the intended meaning of the legislation.

Current text:

Condemning PiT
HOUSE RESOLUTION

Condemning and censuring PiT.

Whereas, PiT has expressed reprehensible views about women, stating that "We men need to control reproductive access to one or more females to pass on our genes."

Whereas, PiT has claimed "the left" is "a suicide cult" "tearing down society," and that he "pretty much" agrees with another Atlasian citizen that he "hates them, and [is] not being hyperbolic. [He] hate, hate, hate them and everything they stand for."

Resolved, that –
(1) the House of Representatives condemns and censures PiT for his conduct that disrespects the Atlasian people in a way that is not beneficial.

[Blair]

I feel I'm in a rather unique situation here; I've both served on the court with Pit & had the honour of serving in every branch of Government within Atlasia. I believe that Pit has been an outstanding justice; I didn't support efforts to remove him as a Justice and I equally believed it was sickening to see so people suggest that any party was using this to seek to remould, stack or rig the court.

I've served on the court with WJ (we're both ex labor chairs) and have reached completely opposite rulings on issues relating to Labor! I wouldn't have supported any effort to remove Pit as a Justice, or to censure him- current events just mean this is the first time I've had more than 5 minutes to put my actual coherent thoughts down.

PITs comments sadly reflect the worst element of what is frankly a larger misogynistic and obsessive element of our politics that has came out into the open- indeed I understand Pit has apologised for the comments he made, the House can pass this resolution, it can send a clear message and we can move on.

Let's move to a final vote & get this done.

Except the quoted bit was wrongly cut out of context and was not even remotely misogynistic in nature. The sponsor of this bogus resolution and  everyone here pretending to be bothered by it knows this and doesn't care.

[Blair]

hasn't the motion passed to move the final vote now?

Absolutely laughable.

Thank you to my colleagues for maintaining the moral fortitude necessary to pass this, even while you got flak from people on both sides of the aisle who refused to stand up to those disgusting remarks
