Whistleblower Protection Act
#1

We just had an experience with a whistleblower, and we've had some in the past. During this election, a question was brought up with a Regional Affairs candidate regarding his role in a scandal that took place a month ago that was pretty....not kind. 
In that vein, I'd like to propose a Whistleblower Protection Act.

 
Whistleblower Protection Act Wrote:
Whistleblower Protection Act

An act to protect whistleblowers from outing and repercussions
1. Defining a Whistleblower

(1)  A whistleblower will be defined as an individual who reports concerning behavior performed by a group or individual to an official of the Coalition or the Assembly of the South Pacific, in good faith.

(2)  An anonymous whistleblower will be defined as an individual who performs the actions of a whistleblower anonymously.

2. Protection of Whistleblowers

(1)  Whistleblowers have the right to report on concerning behavior without fear of political or legal repercussions from the Coalition of the South Pacific, any organization within the Coalition of the South Pacific, or any foreign entities.  

(2) Anonymous whistleblowers have the right to their anonymity. 

(3) If an anonymous whistleblower grants permission to an individual to share their identity with another individual, the government of the Coalition of the South Pacific, an organization, foreign entity, or the general public, the individual who shared the identity has the right to share the information without legal repercussions.
