Jesus christ, use your noggin a little bit harder and figure this one out. Read the portion of the second quote you cut out right before it. Hell, just re-read the first quote. Or even just figure out what “preventative” means. It’s a common word.
I hate to use a vaccine analogy when talking to a right winger, but you’re one of those people who thinks you’re only supposed to get a flu shot when you already have the flu, don’t you?

A conflict of interest screen is a preventive compliance measure, agreed upon pursuant to section 29 of the Act by a public office holder and the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, to assist the public office holder in avoiding conflicts of interest. A screen also seeks to minimize the possibility of conflicts arising between the public duties of the public office holder and their private interests or those of their relatives and friends.

Maybe it’s best to just stick to chasing Fuzz and diss around trying to bully them. This clearly is not your speed.
