Legislators,

Please be advised that this discussion has been designated 2227.AB in official records, and its reference name is Abolishing MoM — Amendment to Article 6 of the Charter. Since this is a constitutional amendment, minimum debate time before voting will be from 11–16 June. Also, I've done the only reasonable thing and renamed the title to AMoMendment to Article 6, you're welcome.
— Chair of the Assembly

Just for the purpose of being legally unambiguous here, I would suggest some kind of resolution with this amendment making it clear what happens with shutting down the ministry and the dismissal of the minister. (e.g. The minister being dismissed immediately after its passage vs serving out the remainder of the term.)

Best not to have a defunct ministry floating around in a legally ambiguous state for the rest of the term if we can avoid it.

Agreed, something along the lines of this:
Upon the passage of this amendment, the Ministry of Media will be dissolved in its entirety and the Minister of Media will be removed from office.

In any event, should this bill pass, I will consider the ministry abolished with immediate effect.

I’m assuming that the roles and responsibilities of the Ministry of Media will be passed onto other ministries within the South Pacific?

I'd think this wouldn't too much of an issue. From the perspective of the law, the Ministry just wouldn't exist any more - the Minister wouldn't have any legal role or position, the assets just wouldn't be owned by any one, etc. The Ministry would just disappear - we don't have any assets/wages/contracts/etc. to worry about, so there isn't any problem with this.

The only reason we should need to pass a resolution alongside this is if we wanted to delay the actual removal of the ministry until the next election or something similar, which there seems to be a consensus on not doing.
