====Disability Welfare Act====
The Social Assistance Accord was repealed on the 05 December 2011 with part of the argument being that it tried, and failed, to cover all aspects of social welfare and assistance adequately. While the repeal was at vote, and looking likely to pass, Ferguson joined a group of like-minded Ambassadors whose aim was to replace the resolution with a variety of resolutions each solely dedicated to a piece of social welfare; this was primarily a response to the accusation that one resolution could cover all of these benefits.

The first draft of the then titled Enabling the Disabled was published on 04 December 2011, a day before the repeal was passed. It opened to broad support, however concern at the title was expressed. Some Ambassadors lauded the idea but felt they couldn't vote for such a poorly named Act which was accused of playing to people's emotions rather than focusing on the resolution itself. The title was changed to Disability Welfare Act in the third and final draft.

The proposal received broad support early into its vote which began on 23 December 2011. This trend continued and the resolution, Disability Welfare Act, was passed with 73% of the vote on 27 December 2011. It is referred to as GA #176.
