Therefore, rather than repeat them, and/or face an eventuality whereby we would seek to redefine a particular term and in so doing, require multiple amendments to all acts which contain said-term, would it be more logical to write a Definitions Act

Besides, what a definition is may be context sensitive. For example, the Mandate may refer to a participating nation in region as a "member", while an act regulating, say, the CLS, may refer to a "member" meaning a member of the CLS. It behooves us to just write good laws.
