Well, the votes are almost all in. The URL has killed The Public Process bill. For now, the Government will continue to have the ability to secretly control immigration.
The Progressive Alliance will be campaigning hard on this issue in the upcoming election, and we hope for your support. We need to win, so that we can change this law. Even if we don't win, your public pressure might embarrass the URL enough to force them into action. Will they really keep defending the right to secretly control immigration?
No bureaucrats should control who gets to apply to immigrate. No one person should get to decide who's allowed to immigrate. The immigration process should be public and open. No one should be excluded from Talossa just because someone in the Government doesn't like their vibes (or their politics or their sexuality or whatever else).
The law should be changed. There's no reason for the Government to have the power to secretly bar people from applying to immigrate. We will fight for this change in the law, and we won't rest until we make progress.
Remember: if someone objectionable or gross applies to immigrate, then the Ziu can block them, or the Corts can block them, or His Majesty can block them, or people can just refuse to petition for that person. The Government could even intervene to block the application... but they should be required to tell us! There's no reason to keep this a secret, unless there's something to hide.
Past abuses must be sought out, investigated, and brought to light. We believe the Government when they say that they've never used the secret power that they want to keep. But it's possible that other governments have not been responsible in this regard. The Progressive Alliance will investigate any past abuses and bring them to light. The people have a right to know whether a bureaucrat has been secretly controlling immigration.

The foreign affairs ministry has arranged possible diplomatic links with other nations, it is a shame that none has come to fruition but we have and continue to work towards this goal.
We have worked with the King on interacting in international groups. Some of which has been previously announced.
I thank the Minister for her reply.
