Some Good Legislative News
Here’s two pieces of good news coming out of the legislature.
First off same-sex marriages look set to become law by year end.
MP’s have also thankfully closed the loophole in the (deep breath) Prohibition of Mercenary Activities and Prohibition and Regulation of Certain Activities in an Area of Armed Conflict Bill that would allow South Africans to fight in conflicts that “assist movements fighting for national liberation, self-determination and independence against colonialism”. This would’ve potentially made the security guard working in Iraq guarding food convoys a criminal but allowed for the nutjob putting bombs in crowded marketplaces in the same conflict.
It’s a good thing they did this because I wasn’t looking forward to the inevitable article post in two years time when the government finally realises the law was stupid in the first place and has to be redrafted.
