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: December 4204
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker, the current government-enforeced regulations promote a vision of small-scale subsistence farming that limit the productive potential of agribusiness, especially by preventing the effective accumulation of capital through breaking up farms that are deemed 'too large' according to arbitrary government standards. In order to unleash innovation and growth, we would be well-advised to do away with these restrictions. Lucretia Llewellyn-Evans MLC Leader of the Opposition |

In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
