Good luck Maj.

Good luck Majester.

Thank you Majester you and your gov. were of big help in every way,i am sry for bad things that hapend and i am happy now when peace is signed.

Wish you a peacfull second turn o/
CP of New Zealand Splindza

'I call for a Governor of the Reserve Bank to be appointed by Senate tasked with storing our funds, investing in the money market, and making actual donations as called for by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

I call for a Chancellor of the Exchequer to be appointed by Senate to compile a budget, monitor it, and disburse funds via the RBA or Treasury.'

Yes, cause splitting the MoF job into two roles and then making them incredibly susceptible to thefts is a great idea. As was covered when a Governor of the RBA idea was put before senate a month or two ago, there is no point whatsoever to implementing such a thing, and it only increases the chance of a sub-par citizen gaining access to the RBA.
At least when the CP controls access you know that whoever is in control of the RBA lives up to the trust and standards of the elected official of the entire country, not just a small sub-sect that block voted on the forums.


'I call for Director of Security appointed by Senate and tasked with vetting new citizenship applications, hunting multies and other threats to Australia, and dedicated to anti-takeover work.'

Again, another case of attempting to fix what isn't broken. Minister of Immigration with cit requests and the ATO group for multies and threats do this perfectly fine, and creating unnecessary useless elections for a separate role (particularly because one person is not enough to protect the country) that would inevitably fall into obscurity ala IG (where people only remember to reelect one because Ranger is prompt enough to post in senate bimonthly).

Rather than try to offload duties of the cabinet onto stand-alone roles, you should focus on acquiring, keeping and running an active efficient cabinet.
A better choice than trying to mess with things that are working well is to focus on what you have failed incredibly on this month.

Improve your communication, get the Department of Info/Public Relations pumping articles more often and informing people on votes, wars, relations, etc etc.

Get the Department of Education alive again, get them publishing helpful articles, anything at all to help new players. AAIS is already covering new player messaging, it's not like the DoE would have to do much at all, yet currently nothing whatsoever is happening.

Get the DoD/ADF improved, get recruitment articles happening, reform the command, less inactivity, more motivation. Most ADF commanders don't seem to enjoy what they do, and half the time aren't online. Take note, I don't just mean QMs, I mean everyone. QMing is the least of your worries when the command has fallen into uselessness.

Today, the Hawks, the under General MU of the Knighthawks outranked the ADF MU. Now sure, many KHs double up with the ADF, but regardless, it shows the ADF is really struggling.
Before we go trying to invent new roles, invade countries, form alliances, whatever it is we want to do, we kind of need a strong military to fall back on to keep our soldiers supplied, our new players trained, so on and so forth.

That said, you'll have my vote Majester and I really hope you can fix what's been wrong in your term. Good luck.

Hinokai your missing the point.

with a active senate comes an active community. anything that promotes activity within eAustralia should be looked at. giving over certain responsibilities to senate allows for a more active senate

Uh, no, you're missing the point. Senate is at most for us, on a good month, 40 people. This month there is what, 20 of us? 15 of us tops use the forums.

That is 15 people deciding who the entire countries funds are controlled by.

Now yes, I am obviously ignoring the fact that the CP ultimately appoints a MoF based on his own agenda, however there has not been an elected CP without a published MoF in a long time, so, the entire country decides if the MoF is safe.

Not to mention that you are assuming that by having to vote on a new person monthly, bimonthly, so on and so forth, senate will magically spring to life, despite the fact that senate already has things to vote on, like the speaker vote - 11 votes, 2 of which were the candidates themselves.

ADF funding was held up for days because no senators actually read threads in the senate forums.

And don't even get me started on how easily a party could take control of the country by simply block voting their way into senate and then block voting one of their own into RBA governor.
Hell, I personally could probably have RBA governor in a month if I was sinister enough to usurp it.

I myself am a senator and I have zero trust that senate would be able to safely pick a governor or chancellor or whatever other fancy role, and never will be.

Those sorts of changes will not revive senate, will not improve the country, and will just make thefts much, much easier to pull off.

Not to mention as I said before, senate already appoints the IG every two months and they already forget to do that.

*sigh* Points taken. Its ironic how we keep our reserve bank in the hands of the CP where other countries try their damnedest to keep it out of their hands.

I called for two functionaries as a double check. If something does go wrong, the CP is still able to ticket Admin to have it fixed.

The reason I called for Education/Social Services and Security to become more permanent is because we cycle through the same people with the same agenda and methodology and do not spread the skills. Sure we can have interns, but I prefer people to actually have a job description and a responsibility.

I will not making changes without more discussion. The point is to get the discussion going to see if there is a better way with more depth of skill than the vicious cycle of resignations that plagues us leaving the executive high and dry.

Other countries are not us though, and I think that the fact that in the history of eAus, in my knowledge, no major theft has been proven to be the CP of the current month (only one in doubt is Bowen's month, and while I do suspect him there is no proof, plus he's basically bottom of the barrel in regards to electing someone and I hope we all learned a lesson from it).

Also, when someone goes and lifts 1000g from the RBA, and they had the details in advance? You can't ticket that back. Even back when admins were more open, if the person already had the details they refuse on the basis of you not keeping your password safe (ie. the Puzzman case).

For Education, I have to admit I'm not particularly fussed as to whether you create a separate role or not - these days I just want Education to be active. For months the majority of people placed in the job have been either incompetent or had the attention span of a goldfish with activities lasting days at most. What we need is the opposite of 'cycling through the same people' because they aren't working.
A separate role or a cabinet role won't differ much and doesn't really endanger anything, which is good but also raises the question of what difference making senate elect them makes.

As for security, with the ATO group already a permanent and deliberately non-political operation that has outlasted almost any venture in recent history, and the continued role of Minister of Immigration, I don't really think anything needs to be changed there.

There are definitely more important things to focus on, at least.

I've been making a point of reminding them each time I've been up for election in the role Hino.

: P

I know Ranger, I've already said that twice. And good thing you do cause the only reason Arfman was replaced was because of the SC thing.

The idea warrants discussion and I support the general principles behind it. With education personnel changing every 30 days there is no consistency to the position. There have been fits and starts towards establishing a more permanent, for lack of a better work, bureaucracy that can continue on regardless of the elected CP.

The financial positions merit discussion, too. We've had instances where the status of our financial situation has not been available to the senate and where senators have had to badger the MoI for information and received terse and sarcastic responses without any sort of documented support. And, of course, a CP can at whim delete all of the records of his administration, including financial records.

In my opinion, the bottom line of this initiative is to establish a permanent, more transparent, and more responsible government. It should be discussed.

Hino raises a good point but I'm sure the Prime Minister is aware of the necessity for ongoing checks and balances. I would also expect the Inspector General will be keeping an eye on it.
