Cabinet announces New Proscriptions

[Office of the Prime Minister, Fudgetopia Government Centre] October 28

The Cabinet has released a revised list of proscriptions. In keeping with the Proscription Act, the individuals Funkadelia, Lamb Stone/Aleister, Evil Wolf/Killer Kitty, McMannia, and the regions H Y D R A, HYDRA Command, and The Ragerian Imperium have been prohibited from entering The South Pacific or its off-site property.

The new list follows the controversial proscriptions issued by the previous Cabinet under Prime Minister Farengeto. While the reasons provided for the proscriptions of the individuals and regions remained largely the same, Prime Minister The Serres Republic omitted General Ever-Wandering Souls of The Black Hawks. This is in light of the High Court overturnning the previous proscription on grounds that the evidence provided by the then Cabinet were not sufficient as to merit a proscription.

The Prime Minister made it clear that while the General was not to be proscribed, the Cabinet would nevertheless ‘continue to pursue options to make sure that the individual is not able to cause future harm towards the South Pacific.’

This implied future exclusion of General Ever-Wandering Souls from The South Pacific was met with derision by former Chair of the Assembly, Mr. Cormac: ‘In other words, you intend to ignore the spirit of the High Court's decision, and do everything you can to proscribe Souls without proscribing him.’

The omission by the Prime Minister fulfils a personal promise made by him to the General during the recent election campaign, in which he pledged his support in overturning the proscription.

‘Speaking as a legislator, not as a cabinet member, I genuinely have disagreed with the way these proscriptions were worded and handled from the onset’, the Prime Minister wrote, ‘I need to handle these final steps discreetly and professionally if I actually want to see your name cleared.’
