| Message | Mr Speaker, On the issue of increasing the age of majority, we are of the opinion that it should remain unaltered. Certain privileges provided upon attaining the age of majority, such as obtaining full-employment, obtaining a driver's licence, and opening a bank account are vital for people's survival. This world is harsh and it is often necessary for people as young as 16 to take a substantial role in society. If people between the age of 16 and 19 are no longer deemed to be adults, those options may be stripped, which could lead to severe societal consequences. On the issue on the lethal arming of certain, trained police officers, the NRC supports such an alteration. There are certain situations where the use of a firearm, by specially trained officers, may be beneficial to the protection of society and the enforcement of the law. However, the use of lethal weaponry should be restricted to only where it is necessary and effective safeguards should be established. On the issue of the appointment of mayors, we support the proposed change. Placing appointment of local officials in the hands of local government is essential to providing effective representation to the people and avoiding the failures of bloated centralisation. The NRC also supports the proposed change in military policy on homosexuality. We believe that that the military should an example of meritocracy and the exclusion of homosexuals from service provides no practical benefit. It is merely an example of archaic social views standing in the way of governmental efficiency. The NRC has no opinion on the issue of noble privileges. The NRC, however, supports the inclusion of an "opt-out option" in relation to receiving sexual education. Although we believe that such education is in the interests of students, it should be the choice of the individual families as to whether they believe such programs are beneficial and necessary. On the issue of requiring the registration of nationals race and religion, we do not believe that the law should be changed. Necessitating that people record their race and religion holds no practical value past facilitating racial and religious discrimination on the part of government. On the issue of altering the state's involvement in the appointment of religious ministers, we support the proposed change. The NRC believes that the religious community should be wholly excluded from government intervention. Therefore, although we agree with certain parts of the bill, we will oppose it. Thomas Moore, Chairman of the NRC. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, As you can see, we offer this bill as mere attempt to formalize a good understanding with our old standing opposition, the EAPP, thus we acknowledge a lot of this is not in line with our party's agenda. The law on police does reflect that care and limitation of use of force, the fact that most police officers do not hold weaponry that could be lethal does show that PSEI attempts at ensuring police forces are tightly regulated as often police brutality occurs and this institution is renown for oppression. |
