Description[?]:
Fellow Assemblymen and Assemblywomen We have a libel policy that currently gives too much power to those in public life. Our current libel laws allow public individuals to censor the truth, an unacceptable proposition in any free society. All we are doing by keeping the current libel laws in place is harming the press' ability to report on the news, and that is unacceptable. -Edward Dawson, Minister of Internal Affairs |
