#### 27th August 2023

#### 6th September 2023

* "It is necessary to maintain most aspects of welfare in some form, the CPA (in its present state) is often too extreme in its implementation of Conservative values, and I do not associate myself with a great many of the views held by Coff Noff McGroff. We agree on every point. Try again x." *- In response to Justice Okasian's attack on her previous comment. **(MNA Announcement)***
* "The SDP have the gall to boast about cutting taxes, when they were the ones who introduced the higher taxes in the first place (Law 1313). When members of the right criticised the tax hike and proposed an alternative bill (Law 1350) it was vetoed by bossmansoldier himself. The SDP are too busy lining their own pockets to care about the people of this country. A CPA Government would lower taxes on the hard working members of our community that are sick and tired of being short-sold by SDP leeches." *- Rebuttal of Bossmansoldier's assertion that the SDP had cut taxes in the previous term. **(MNA Announcement)***

#### 9th September 2023

* "Thank you Mr. Speaker. Nuclear energy has long been neglected by all parties, its potential left untapped due to overbearing regulation and unattractive investment opportnities. This bill aims to simplify existing regulations, removing barriers where appropriate and safe to do so, and providing government subsidies for businesses seeking to utilise Adoria's vast nuclear potential." *- Presenting her Nuclear Opportunities Act. **(National Assembly)***
* "Mr. Speaker, the objections of the Prime Minister come from a place of ignorance and blind opposition to advancing Adoria's nuclear potential. It is a vastly underused method of generating energy and expansion woudl entail significant economic benefits, which the Prime Minister apparently does not care for. In response to his first and second points, the repealed subsections he refers to is a significant deterrent for nuclear plant operators, as it enforces unrealistic standards of safety on their workers. Nuclear energy is a remarkably safe resource and this bill retains all previous articles of legislation that make it so. Not to mention that section 2, subsection 6 of the bill does in fact maintain very high expectations of emergency response training, and other parts of the bill ensure safety provisions are upheld by the Nuclear Commission." *- In defence of her Nuclear Opportunities Act. **(National Assembly)***
* "Thank you Mr Speaker, that is quite alright. Again, nuclear energy could be such a valued asset to our nation yet it is repeatedly neglected by the ignorant bureaucrats; such as the Prime Minister here. I really have no idea what the Prime Minister is talking about, as is clearly stated in section 2, subsection 6 of the bill:
> Section 1, subsection 8 of the Nuclear Energy Regulation Act will be amended to read: “Nuclear plants must conduct periodic emergency response training and drills, as well as physical and psychological assessments of personnel. Every two years, each plant will exercise its emergency response plan with federal and provincial government agencies. The results of these exercises are to be evaluated by the Nuclear Commission. Recommendations made by the Nuclear Commission thereafter, if not implemented within a given window of time, will be referred to the relevant provincial or state authority to enforce.”
>

Physical and psychological assessments of workers were added in this amendment and were not present in the original legislation. I have not removed these extremely important provisions - I have added them where they did not previously exist! To repeat myself from my opening statement, I have made changes where appropriate and safe to do so, which includes occasionally adding extra safety provisions." - *In defence of her Nuclear Opportunities Act. **(National Assembly)***
* "The Nuclear Opportunities Act is itself an excellent opportunity, effectively promoting the diversification of our energy sources. Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest forms of energy and expansion of the nuclear sector would make a significant impact in our battle to defend the environment. The weak scrutiny by the SDP only shows how little they appreciate the potential of nuclear energy, as well as the contempt they have for competitive industries driving down consumer energy prices. Never forget the day the SDP voted down mental and physical health checks for nuclear plant workers." *- In defence of her Nuclear Opportunities Act. **(MNA Announcement)***

#### 11th September 2023

* "Yesterday we saw our President defy the representatives of the people and veto a bill that garnered the support of 60% of the National Assembly. This reactionary decision was a blatant abuse of Presidential privilege and undermines the democratic will that the Adorian people have vested in the Members of the National Assembly." *- In criticism of the decision of the President to veto her Nuclear Opportunities Act.*
