Bill 96 resolution
A resolution was passed about the application of Bill 96 (which had been passed by the National Assembly on May 24) stating that 七星彩开奖 opposed the Bill in its current form as detrimental to the education of students, but particularly to Indigenous students, which was supported by a similar motion passed at Senate.
