Against. Cabinet discussions cannot be forced to be published by Court. I like the citizen asking part, but the part about the Court overruning the Cabinet's decision to publish the discussions just ruins it.

Unless the Cabinet is clearly corrupt, which it isn't right now.

Against as well. The current version of the Sunshine Law is just fine. Forcing Cabinet discussions to be made public too soon could have undesirable results.

The Court has always been able to force disclosure. The Cabinet can't flout existing law, so if they don't disclose the required discussions, anybody can submit a court case to force the Cabinet to comply.

My only question remains the standard that the court uses. Traditionally, the Cabinet decides security issues like this, and the court would defer to the Cabinet.

So, what's the difference between the current method and Hilevilles proposed method?

Codification. Also it implies that the Cabinet doesn't get deference.

Rubbish, in my option what the Cabinet has been discussing should be published after each election. Fully for this, the Court is made up of trusted citizens of the region. Therefor I think this is perfectly acceptable.

That is not acceptable under any circumstances ever.

Unless an entirely new government came to power, and even then, I doubt it would be on these hallowed forums.

Which is why the Cabinet can deny the release and the Court would get the final say. There are Cabinet discussions that take place that do not need to stay private. Not everything is about the security of the region or actions taken by the Cabinet.
