Bill: Industrial Reform (Defence Industries) Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: United Liberal Alliance

Status[?]: passed

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: July 3270

Description[?]:

Mr Speaker,

In the vast majority of cases, the state works best when it acts as a regulator, ensuring fairness, competition and the adherence to certain standards, rather than as a direct owner and operator of businesses and industries. The state should instead promote private enterprise and foster an open and entrepreneurial culture, whilst regulating it to ensure that standards are met and that basic rules are obeyed and, where necessary, to limit the impact of the unfettered market and to act as a investor of last resort only where industries vital to the economy and national interest of Telamon are at stake. We believe that this holds true for defence industries as well. Let us subsidise local companies and encourage the creation of a world class, competitive defence industry here in Telamon, rather than a moribund and bureacratic state enterprise.

Charles Fox
ULA Leader

MessageMr. Speaker,

We strongly disagree with this bill. Defense industries must be maintained by the state, in order to assure perfection and to void the potential of espionage against our great nation. We do not support multinational corporations owning our defense industries, due to the threat to national security it would create.

The honorable ULA leader says we must only control industries that are "vital to the economy and national interest of Telamon are at stake". We ask, what can be defined more as national interest of Telamon at risk than giving defense contracts to multinational corporations that we don't know whose loyalties lie with. It is simply a risk that we can't afford to take.
