The Senate’s use of war powers to extend and fund mercenary contracts on Intaki is another example of the current trend towards Federal interference with Members’ constitutional prerogatives.
Having contracts with multiple mercenary organisations was always going to lead to ‘interface’ issues. Having contracts with organisations that have limited relevant cultural background was always going to lead to ‘community’ issues. I doubt the Senate cares much in either case.
I urge the Assembly to assert its rights to control the franchising process and seriously consider the possibility of involving those for whom Intaki’s cultural heritage actually means something.
