Hello Australian Citizens,
Yes it is that time of the month where we as a people reach the crossroads of who will lead our great country for the next month. Shaded by the endless spam in the news of manifestos, promises and the occasional personal attack is the decision of deciding the fate of Australia. Looking back to our rebirth in late November shows that we tend to pick a leader who provides strength, compassion and diplomacy to a country that sorely needs it. From the legendary Zaney, to Cottus Arci and the now incumbent Derek Apollyon doesn't just prove this statement, it adds value to it.
In this upcoming Prime Minister election, we have a chance to pick another to lead us and this is where I come in. I'm here to ask you to choose me. Not because I'm asking but because I believe I am the best candidate for the job. Why you ask? Let’s have a look.
Experience
Without a doubt, I have gained more than enough experience in my 8 and a half months playing this fine game. I have held positions in government including, Minister for Industry, Minister for Finance and currently, Minister for Defence and deputy Prime Minister so it’s safe to say I know the ins and outs of this government extremely well. My experience extends beyond the realm of politics, being a current General Manager and a former DropBear.
Communication
Communication is one of the most, if not the most crucial aspects of this game. In fact, the reason we were annexed back in early 2008 was due to a misinterpretation citing a response from Indonesia. I have the ability to communicate with all citizens, although most of you know that, regardless if you have different learning’s then myself. This is vital to any administration and I am extremely confident I can deliver in this area.
Activity
I feel and I am sure others will agree I am by far the most active government official in this country. Spending hours negotiating, motivating, facilitating and just talking to citizens shows how committed I am willing to be to get things done. I will remain active during my term as Prime Minister, and that is a promise I will keep.
Now on to the good stuff. Here is a brief platform on the upcoming elections, and what I hope to accomplish as Prime Minister of Australia.
Military
Our military is itching to get some action but unfortunately, there haven’t been the funds to do so. This is extremely frustrating for all involved and I hope to change that. With my current military proposal in the Senate now, the Redback’s will get their gifts, DropBear’s weapons and if funds permit the ADF will get training all of which is part of our military overhaul. Other plans include a Democratic Military which I have been discussing with my future Minister for Defence if I am elected.
Democratic Military
Currently our Officers are being appointed to their position by Lieutenants who were appointed by Tecchi back in February. The system has been adequate so far, but there is room for improvement.
By implementing a democratic military where officers are elected to their post a number of things will happen:
-will create more accountability for Officers to do their job well.
-will revitalise our somewhat inactive military.
-will create more ‘squad rivalry’, which will increase activity.
I am also looking into entering a war through MPP once our Q5 is built. This will stimulate the economy and provide our citizens with war experience.
Economy
Having some control over our economy is vital for the country to prosper. Giving our Minister for Industry more freedom to monitor the market and educate Employers and Employees is something which I promise from my administration.
On the issue of money I will work with my Finance Minister to work out ways to increase our treasury but more on this in due course.
Foreign Affairs
Foreign Affairs, the department which contains the words on everyone’s lips, Indonesia. I have a good relation with Indonesia, being present at both contract talks and I will continue with the diplomacy our two countries have. In my term I hope to finalise our new contract, which will contain us regaining our regions in due course. It is irrational to be hasty in such a sensitive issue so this will take time. I thank you for your patience on it regardless of the administration. With that being said I still believe Australia should be neutral from ATLANTIS and PEACE GC. However that doesn’t mean we are not allowed friends. This brings me to my next point, a revamp of our Foreign Affairs department.
The Ministry will introduce a revised structure for better performance and efficiency as detailed below.
here
The Foreign Affairs Executive Committee will be the body responsible for foreign policy development and the achievement of Australia’s strategic foreign policy objectives.
Comprised of six regional envoys and a special envoy to PEACE-ATLANTIS, Each Envoy will be responsible for the management of diplomatic staff and the execution of policy in their region. They shall be responsible for maintaining regular contact with Australian Ambassadors in their region and will raise matters before the FAEC. An area in the Australian Forums shall be designated to facilitate this group.
A foreign affairs database which contains as much information as possible on every country in the world, including details on their governments, internal political scene (parties etc.), military strength and economic stability will also be created. Ambassadors would be set tasks by envoys in relation to the database on a weekly basis, at the end of the said week they would present their report to the envoy who would read over it and then give the go ahead for information to be entered into the database. Knowledge is power, and I want Australian to be powerful.
Cabinet Changes
If elected some minor changes will be made to how I run my cabinet. A few will me mentioned below:
Minister of Immigration
Would work to try and get more people to join Australia and will work in game and out of game. Should have a large 'gamebase' where they can actively promote Australia. For ingame promotion going to labour heavy countries and enticing them to get a good job in Australia is just an example of what they can do.
Apprenticeship
Many new citizens have told me they would like to get into the government to help out, but are finding it very hard to do so. This is why I will implement the ‘Apprentice’ scheme. Ministers will be able to find up to two apprentices (most likely through application) who they will teach the basics of how to run their department. Once they are trained up they will then be given some tasks to do. By training up as much people we will have a bright future for Australian politics.
Inspector General
I am a key supporter of a transparent government so while making all ministers accountable for what they do, I will also go the extra step in creating an Inspector General. He/she will be elected by the Senate and run independently of the Senate. The Inspector General will have read-only access to the cabinet and Google Docs created by ministers. They cannot be a current Speaker, Deputy Speaker, or Current Cabinet Minister and they will be able to hand out information to citizens on request.
I would like to stress that this isn’t all what I have planned if elected just an outline of my key ideas. An article will be released tomorrow announcing my potential cabinet. So until then, stay safe.
Let’s make Australia better, together,

Good Luck patti!!!
Go PATTI!!!!!!!!!!!
GO PATTI GO!!!
Patti for President!!!
Go Patti! 😃
Vote Patti this CP election to make sure ur voice is heard and ensure prosperity for eAustralia.
We Love Patti!
PrimeMinister 4 Life!
*Signature of Approval*
Interesting Platform Patti.
don't try to steal the democratic military off us patti
it's ACP and you know it 😛
Didn't you recently say you were still in favor of boycotts against industry ?
Bil
Its still in debate Bilbarus.
I should do what was done to Corny
"Vote 1 Corny for PM"
2 great candidates though. Should be interesting.
1 Question re open govt. Where do I see a list of who gets the gifts from medicare? That should be published somewhere each day / week along with a topic letting ppl apply for it.
Patti has my vote and my heart.
🙂
Not that I can vote...
Err...
But if I could!
'Go Patti! 😃
Vote Patti this CP election to make sure ur voice is heard and ensure prosperity for eAustralia.'
Or vote Corny instead, you will ensure your voice is heard and make sure the prosperity of Australia is in the best of hands 😃
'So basically people will get to a higher position through a popularity contest rather than on a skill basis, great....'
Gees cheeseball way to have faith in our soldiers. I truely believe our troops will vote for who they think will do the job best, not for their friends.
'I agree with the ideas of a Minister of Imigration, something I talked to you about on msn, and others have stated before. something I'm sure Corny will too be interested in doing'
just did a search of our conversation history for 'transport' and immigration' not one search result. Stop trying to claim credit for our policies 😛
'In regards to the apprenticeship scheme, its about time Australia had one. I didn't realise we didn't yet. I'm sure again Corny will agree with you here that one should be implemented.'
Why didn't Corny bring it up then?
'Perhaps you could just have someone in the senate whose job it is to publish an article outlining the key ideas of the proposals and the decision the senate made?'
You totally read the idea wrong. Read it again.
'That is so my line 😃'
thats like everyones line 😛
'Nothing substantial there at all'
A couple of ideas are still forming but not ready to be unveiled yet
@Cheeseball: you're making it sound as if patti has to run all his ideas by corny for approval, when that clearly isn't the case.
@ Derek
'@Cheeseball: you're making it sound as if patti has to run all his ideas by corny for approval, when that clearly isn't the case.'
Really? pls tell me where I said, 'Pattii you have to run your ideas by Corny'. I have clearly stated that Corny too would support some of these ideas, I fail to see why you have a problem with that as they are some great ideas, that you said you support. All it shows that Corny is open to ideas of others, I didn't think that was a bad quality but if you're right you're right DA...
'lol , nice way to turn it but no, you know as well as I do that it could very well happen because you are turning the military into politics. Most of the military prefer to avoid the political scene.'
Its true though. If someone is going to vote in their best mate and he has no idea what to do in the job it is the soldier that will suffer. I should also add that if the MoD doesnt approve of the Officers job a re-election will be held.
'I never said Minister of Immigration, but i DID say we should get someone to post articles in other countries to advertise our job situation, might be my mad tho and the convo was with someone else. I'm not the one trying to claim credit here, you are.'
Lol how am I claiming credit if you said it too someone else?
'I'm sorry Pattii I didn't realise not bringing something up and opposing the idea was the same thing. Does that mean you intend to shoot down an idea because you didn't bring it up, way to be open minded Pattii, disappointing to say the least.'
I never said he wasn't allowed to support it. I just asked if he was totally for it why he didn't mention it.
'Or perhaps you aren't communicating properly as well as you thought.'
If you misread the line, 'The Inspector General will have read-only access to the cabinet and Google Docs created by ministers.' that isnt my fault.
'So why bring it up? Talk about them in the next manifesto or at least outline the idea.'
To show I am thinking about ideas. I would rather not release a policy full of flaws even if it was an outline
@Patti
'In regards to the apprenticeship scheme, its about time Australia had one. I didn't realise we didn't yet. I'm sure again Corny will agree with you here that one should be implemented.'
'Why didn't Corny bring it up then?'
Obviously you haven't read my policies, if you see 1.D it states:
"TBP believes in giving active and interested citizens the opportunity to become a minister using the deputy minister program"
'"TBP believes in giving active and interested citizens the opportunity to become a minister using the deputy minister program"'
That's not apprentices though, that's deputy ministers 😉 😛
"'"TBP believes in giving active and interested citizens the opportunity to become a minister using the deputy minister program"'
That's not apprentices though, that's deputy ministers 😉 😛"
If you actually read the statement you will realise that is what I was aiming for
What about boycotts Patti ?
woah cheese chillax m8. just because TBP made a coalition with the ANP doesnt mean u have to act like them.. yes im stating the fact that the ANP on previous occasions have been less then respectful to opponents come election time, and its starting to look if ull do the same.
@Bilb
still discussing with my party whether it is the best option. You know my stance on it, I believe they can work with education and education only.
'woah cheese chillax m8. just because TBP made a coalition with the ANP doesnt mean u have to act like them.. yes im stating the fact that the ANP on previous occasions have been less then respectful to opponents come election time, and its starting to look if ull do the same.'
LOL, broad mate you crack me up. I know you are upset that you have competition but don't worry you will get used to it. You tell me to chill lol, I believe I made a joke, where was yours?
Br0ad mate I am critisising his policies in a logical way, I am not mud slinging nor bashing on players, that is how democracy is supposed to work. Yet that is being disrespectful?
'yes im stating the fact that the ANP on previous occasions have been less then respectful to opponents come election time, and its starting to look if ull do the same'
Stop being a filthy hypocrite. ADSP members not only spammed up Corny's article but also decided it would be fun to beat up on younger players. Predatorion showed a disgusting attitude towards a newer player voicing his opinion and you of all people supported him. It is sad to see that you can sink so low Br0ad, and then to come and tell me to chill? You are being rude and obnoxious, maybe it is you who are acting like those you say you despise. Maybe ADSP is the one acting disrespectful, you are just so full of yourself you can't see it.
Vote corny keep the economy free vote corny and we will receive change.
On and good luck Pat
@ Pattii
'@Bilb

Totally agreed, boycotts are only useful if the person is educated and already knows what they are doing and that it is hurting others. 🙂
Hmm i want all states back in eAus hands, if you can do that, i might be swayed.
@Mark: I was present at the contract talks with Indonesia. We should get all our regions back in due time but currently they wont let us and it would destroy us. For example: For us to get Western Australia back we would have to buy out all the compannies located their, over 5000g. Even if we did have this gold we don't have the labour force to fill these companies with workers, rendering it useless.
The next regions handed back will be Tasmania and Queensland
'"'"TBP believes in giving active and interested citizens the opportunity to become a minister using the deputy minister program"'
That's not apprentices though, that's deputy ministers 😉 😛"
If you actually read the statement you will realise that is what I was aiming for'
Oh and that was a joke Corny mate, hence the two smilies 😉
@ Widds
lol, at least you've learned not to try and kick me in the balls again, Never fear CheeseBall's metal cup is here 😛
Widds are you insane, we're riding the kangaroo and then we're gunna get you with tongs from the BBQ 😛
If you get recognition widds we will be hearing about it for the majority of the next term if Pattii gets in, but only half if he doesn't.
Quick everyone vote Corny, otherwise we will have to listen to Widds for ages.... 😛
On a more serious note...
@ Mark
Pattii is correct, Australia does not have sufficient funds to pay the Indonesians. No side can promise to get all regions back unless someone has been hording all the gold....
It must be the commies, get them!!!!
(gotcha widds 😛)
'If you get recognition widds we will be hearing about it for the majority of the next term if Pattii gets in, but only half if he doesn't.'
Don't you mean you'll be hearing about me for the whole of the next term, I mean the majority just isn't enough time to give me the credit I deserve 😛
lol, widds, gotta love ya 😛
@ Patti
"To show I am thinking about ideas. I would rather not release a policy full of flaws even if it was an outline"
I know that you have the best interest of Australia at heart, but to be fair on the general public, how are we meant to vote for you if you do not give us even a general direction of how your policy will look like for the next month?
It looks like an interesting election. It's a shame I'm too young to vote!
@srg91
That is a fair point. I will say the essence of teh policy now but i stress it is not absolute. It is an investing scheme, where we play the foreign monetary markets to increase our own reserves
Tbh, world economics is not my strongest point, but considering the fact that the election is only 1 day away, and the fact that you stated you have not thought it out thoroughly, when will we be hearing the full planning of this plan?
Will it be sometime in the next week if your elected? (since you only got about 4 until next election 😛)
srg91 ASAP. I have been discussing this scheme with cottus and their are a lot of flaws and factors which could turn it into a disaster which haven't been covered yet. Expect to know the outcome of it in the first week if elected.
Prime Ministerial candidate debate on tonight at 9:30pm (Eastern Aus) time via IRC. PM me with any questions you have for the candidates!
Thanks for your comments Cheeseball and Patti, i am actually a former member of the ASDP, i only quit because i briefly had to move country in order to gain a few fighting experience points. You've got my vote.
ADSP*
I'm not going to comment with a political opinion as my absence means that I have no proper basis for one, so instead I'll just say this,
This was a very well written article and presents all the information that I believe a political article needs. You've got all your ideas put together and you present an argument for them. Well done.
