Support for LGBTI Athletes Bill

In the light of passage of legislation in Russia. leading to imprisonment or deportation for people engaging in 'homosexual propaganda', and commentary from organisers of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games about the place of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender and intersex athletes, the Atlasian Senate should ensure that Atlasian athletes of all sexualities, should be able to participate free of the risk or persecution and prosecution.

1. The Atlasian Government will ensure that any Atlasian LGBTI athlete who does not feel comfortable in participating in the Sochi games, will not be financially disadvantaged.

2. The Atlasian Government will endorse and support athletes who wish to make known their support for LGBTI causes in public fora during the games.

3. The Atlasian Government will formally advise the Russian Government of its expectations that no foreign athlete attending the Sochi games will be detained or prosecuted under these laws.

While Atlasia respects the right of sovereign nations to make their own laws, Atlasia feels the application of these laws at an international event, awarded well before the passage of these laws, would damage the international cohesion events such as the Olympic Games is meant to foster.

I will be taking over sponsorship for this when the time comes (since it isn't that far down in the queue now especially). Even if not this particular text, I think we need to make some changes to the process in question even if we retain some form of discretion for the regions in terms of what process they use.

Veterans Support Modernization Bill

This Bill will provide additional resources to fast-track the digitisation of existing veteran's affairs records and to create a mostly-electronic network for the processing of veteran's support claims, along the lines of electronic personal income taxation processing.

1. $25 million will be provided to employ additional staff to increase the rate of record digitisation, these jobs should be based in the Pacific Region. Record digitisation should be completed by 1 April 2014. 

2. $150 million will be provided to the department to support the development and application of a new software package to enable all veteran's support claims to be lodged online and unless irregularities are noticed, processed within thirty days of application.

3. All existing claims, and claims lodged until 31 March 2014 will continue to be processed in the current manner.

4. $25 million will be provided for additional contract employees to increase the rate of existing paper application processing times. These positions will be spread across national veteran's affairs processing centres and will be specifically targeted at those centres with average processing times exceeding 200 days. The exact breakdown of funding and staff allocations will be directed by departmental officials.

5. A progress report is to be provided to the Senate on all timelines this Bill established by 1 October 2013 and 1 February 2014.

I'm withdrawing the Responsible Gun Ownership Act. Also I'm not sure whether or not this would be the FY 2013 or FY 2014 budget, so whichever it is, please list that as the title of this legislation.

Comprehensive Sex Education Bill 2013

Recognising that the best way to reduce sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies is to provide comprehensive and progressive sex education as part of curricula.

1. $45 million will be made available to the regions to support the development, production and support of sex education programs across the nation
2. Funding will be able to be adjusted to suit regional needs, but they must address in an impartial and technical fashion the following elements
2a. Contraception use and availability
2b. Sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy
2c. Sexuality and gender

3. Programs must be endorsed by the Department of Internal Affairs,  prior to commencement and will be reviewed annually to ensure best information is transmitted.

4. Any program which refuses to cover elements 2a-2c will not be funded, as well, any program which permits the teaching of abstinence-only, will also not be funded, or will have funding instantly withdrawn for the whole region. 


Education for the Future Bill 2013

Investing in the educational opportunities of our children should be a priority for any government. In order to guarantee basic education standards so all children can compete in the modern economy, these steps are necessary.

1. $450 million will be made available to each region from 1 October 2014 to support their educational efforts.

2. That funding will be conditional on the provisions of a 'National Framework for Educational Advancement' ('the Framework').
2a. That determination will be made by the Department of Internal Affairs, after their Framework compliance report is provided by the regional educational authorities by 1 July 2014. There will be no penalty for non-compliance, however, no additional funding will be made available for regions who do not provide this report by this date.

3. The Framework outlines the expectations of the Federal Government when it comes to basic educational standards. This will take the form of a set of courses that all students will have to achieve, which is defined as completed and passed. These include:
3a. Mathematics
3b. English and literacy
3c. Any of the sciences (biology/physics/chemistry as a minimum)
3d. Civics
3e. Atlasian and world history

4. An additional $35 million per region will be made available for those regions who implement broader information technology education in their regions.

5. Any student who chooses to leave school voluntarily under between the ages of 16 and 18 will be required to complete an 'Atlasian Educational Clearance Report' or AECR.

5a. This will be a set qualification, however, it will not be an equivalent of a High School Diploma or GED. That includes the successful passing of items 3a-3e, as well as passing a national literacy and numeracy test. Public Universities will be encouraged to consider AECR for non-conventional entry consideration.

5b. Any student applying for an AECR will be required to attend 5 hours of career counselling and the counselor and at least one parent must consent to their application.

Ah, did I leave that off? My bad. Let's go with the 'Comprehensive Drug Reform Act of 2013'

Support for Carers Bill 2013

1. This Bill will amend the Comprehensive Social Security Act (FL 45-10), creating a new Section 6. Therefore the existing section 6 will become section 7 and so forth.

2. This Bill will create section 6 to protect the interests of carers, including the creation of a new income support payment for those who devote their time and energy to care for family and friends who are not able to fully care for themselves.

3. In order to qualify a person must be the primary carer of an individual either under the age of eighteen or covered by a payment under the existing Comprehensive Social Security Act (FL 45-10),. This will ensure income support for those caring for people with medically diagnosed physical or mental disabilities, who has withdrawn themselves from the full-time workforce.

4. A graduated payments system will be dependent on their previous income with a cap of $60,000 per year.
a) less than $18,000 per year - 100% of previous income
b) $18,001 - $30,000 per year - 60% of previous income
c) $30,001 - $45,000 per year - 35% of previous income
d) $45,001 - $60,000 per year - 20% of previous income
e) more $60,001 - qualifies for base carers payment of $750 per month.

5. This will be funded by increasing the existing Social Security Insurance premium to from 6.50% to 6.75% from 1 January 2014.
