[My Thoughts] It's time we had some answers.
AugustusX
Ladies and Gentlemen! I am so pleased to announce the return of my old article series, My Thoughts. For my new readers, what I will do in this series is propose to you as the title suggests, my thoughts on various topic and going on's in the eWorld, and eAustralia. So thanks for reading and let's get started!
Now that I've lured you in with that adorable picture, I will move onto what I really want to say.
My Argument:
These past few weeks of Mick Gatto's term have been excellent. We won back eAustralia, we've re-invaded eIndonesia and we've had great support from the beginning. But I am beginning to see the tell tale signs of a government thinking itself too good to be held accountable and that it can forgo its duties to the people and the responsibility of office.
Let me be clear here, that eAustralia is nation that has had it's fair share of shit fights but when the Prime Minister not only stoops to this level, but leads the charge one cannot help but stop and wonder, what is going on?
The Evidence:
This whole affair was kicked off with this article: An example why politics needs to get read. This article was appalling to say the least. For the Prime Minister to use his influence to crush down a member of our community is just disgraceful. Argi may be non-Australian, he might be a friend of Binda, but does that mean we can attack him and not give him a fair go at being Prime Minister? WHY do we not give Argi a chance to prove himself? We all make mistakes, and hell if people didn't get over them I'd never have been Prime Minister, and I damn well that Mick Gatto would not be either.
Furthermore, when I saw the Minister for Defence, Pat McCrutch comment in disagreement with the Prime Minister, his 'resignation' that followed seemed all too convenient. Rather I propose that the Prime Minister forced the Minister to step down. This behaviour is just appalling. Pat was and has been always a valid member of this country and his job as Minister of Defence, in the brief time he held it, was outstanding. As an MU-Commander I can vouch for this.
Then, the Prime Minister continues his poor level of judgment and writes this article: the ARP/ALF split leaves many questions. Again, this article devalues a member of our community, Fidel Castro Died. Rather than calling him out as a foreigner who has claimed the party leadership and setting out to vilify him, he should have made personal contact with the man and found out for himself. Now everyone will know him as the guy who stole ARP because the PM said so. Disgusting. In conjunction with his attack on Fidel, my newly found party the ALF was also attacked.
Stating "I realise Flatty is on a personal mission off in the garden and kudos to him. The ALF sounds fun but it also reads like a missile with the guidance system taken off and could blow any which way but at least it's active for now.. the KHMC are still floating aimlessly.." Well well.. another low level attack from the Prime Minister. The ALF is a strong organisation with a strong future because it has good members. Unless you are inside the party then I suggest you keep quiet.
The next example of the Prime Minister's devaluing of his office, is the attack against Binda33. I will admit I am no fan of Binda's, but it is everyone's right to express dissatisfaction and I will not condone Binda's actions, but what I know is that the Prime Minister's attacks were simply appalling. Again WHY is the PM stooping to such a poor and low level? In the comments of this article: Mick Gatto is a liar. You can read for yourself, but I think it's clear enough. The PM should be beyond reproach, but this is simply not the case.
Other Examples of Governorship:
So not only have we see the Prime Minister stoop to a level unprecedentedly low since Discrate, but we can see the failures of this government have also come to light. We have had many successes and I fear they have overshadowed the things that have been missed. The Government must be answerable, and just because we got a few regions doesn't mean the job can be ignored nor the questions unanswered.
Firstly, let me draw to light the Government's budget. We've seen huge SPENDING over the last week, with MU's getting supplies, many Combat Orders and signing of a relatively large MPP stack... And yet we have not seen a budget. As Venja pointed out, it has not been released... So I ask the Prime Minister, what have you got to hide? Are you sending us broke and now too scared to admit it? If you ask me this spending has been increasingly irresponsible.
Furthering this failure of Government, I noticed not only had Pat been fired, but Saiwun too. So far the PM has dismissed more than 50% of his Defence Department. Well let me show you something here. In doing this Mick he has doomed himself.
Since Pat's firing, our strategy has gone to shit.
1. We attacked Malaku Islands for the Fish I assume.
2. Poland attacked Papua (THEIR ONLY BORDER REGION!!)
3. We attack LSI (again, a fish region...)
4. Poland attack no where because they are cut off by us
5. We attack Kalimantan...
So our only chance at suppressing Indonesia is cut off by... Us? I assume Poland are pissed because there goes their NE battles they wanted. I am deeply concerned that the Government failed to coordinate and I also deeply concerned that the strategy of the government is not even thought out. Every government has attacked LSI when they have the chance... Why? Because it's Fish (which we don't have) and it doesn't block anyone! I feel like Poland is angry and to be honest, it's not a country we want against us. We want them with us. They try to help, we stuff up.
HOW EMBARRASSING.
Concluding:
So eAustralia I put this to you... Is this the style of Government you want? One that is too busy on its highs that is completely neglecting its lows? We must remember to keep our government accountable and let's not ride the wave of Victory to our Ends.
Now for anyone that wants to say why do I hate eAustralia or why do I hate the government etc etc. Let me point out that I have won the last Campaign Hero in the battle for LSI, I have won many BH's and I have pushed harder than most in this campaign. Also I do not hate the government, I appreciate their jobs are tough, but we cannot let it continue on a path like this. Democracy FTW.
Please consider joining the Australian Liberation Front if you want to fight for Australia and the suppression of Indonesia!

Comments
Flatty and Binda sorta on the same side, whats this world coming to?
Indeed. I thought Flatty had standards. Apparently it's all about how I addressed his failure.
I was loyal to Flatty as Prime Minister and since I've taken office he has engaged in personal tripe against me and my government. Before Prime Ministers are officers - they are citizens. For once I have the public position to address issues in the community that Prime Minister Flatty failed to address and even refused to respond to (have plenty of those unanswered messages myself). So when it comes to integrity, let's look at the facts. Flatty and I have been been a product of the same political machine - a largely uncontested Prime Ministership.
He was asked repeatedly if he wanted to keep on going as Prime Minister, but he said he was burned out. This is knowledge outside and inside of the ARP and can't possibly be disputed. I have been a friend to Flatty and the notion of making the iRC nickname Mick_Gatto_is_a_Homosexual in #ausrep yesterday loses him any credibility on what's right or wrong. Days before that he and Venja were sharing disparaging comments about my articles. Forgive me for keeping the public informed and taking a sense of pride in role-playing the office to which I was duly elected.
So much for mates. They're like a rapid dog who turns on you at any moment. Just like Binda
As far as anyone with half a brain is concerned, if he wanted power that badly - he should have run again. Instead he didn't. If I am the prick he's selling me to be, it's his own fault.
P.S. Pat McCrutch and Saiwun are both in Flatty's party. No reason to be spiteful eh? LOL!
"I was loyal to Flatty as Prime Minister and since I've taken office he has engaged in personal tripe against me and my government."
Not true.
"For once I have the public position to address issues in the community that Prime Minister Flatty failed to address and even refused to respond to (have plenty of those unanswered messages myself)."
If you call attacking citizens of this country an issue that needs addressing then I am completely shocked. I did not address attacks against me, because I did not want to engage in negative politics, rather I prefered to show myself through actions.
"Flatty and I have been been a product of the same political machine - a largely uncontested Prime Ministership."
Lies. I fought very hard against Callumh123, Arthur_Cole and Binda33. There was a very heated contest, you weren't even here to see it. So you cannot comment at all. Anyone that was, can vouch for this.
"He was asked repeatedly if he wanted to keep on going as Prime Minister, but he said he was burned out. This is knowledge outside and inside of the ARP and can't possibly be disputed."
Not only is this totally irrelevant, but I wholeheartedly dispute it. Please show me where I said this.
"As far as anyone with half a brain is concerned, if he wanted power that badly - he should have run again. Instead he didn't. If I am the prick he's selling me to be, it's his own fault."
I do not want any power here my friend, I am just highlighting the faults in the government that can no longer be overlooked. I suggest you take a good hard look at them before you lash out on the defensive.
I just want to add also, that NOWHERE here have you answered my questions, what is with our strategy? Where is the budget? Why was Pat and Saiwun fired? Why are you lashing out at citizens? Why are you devaluing the office of which you hold? Do not attack me, you are the one that is in the spotlight here.
Explain your charges. How was I not loyal to you> Did I go making up iRC names and trashing you in articles? I called for more accountability and maybe this is your way of payback but you didn't even have the integrity to speak to me about any of this.
Nice try playing saint but you've forgot your halo.
I have explained myself. Do you think yourself now about the people who elect you? Answer me the questions I have put forward.
What is with our strategy? Where is the budget? Why was Pat and Saiwun fired? Why are you lashing out at citizens? Why are you devaluing the office of which you hold?
I already addressed in your shot (which in your own dog ways you never respond when I raise issues with you - this is just another one of those times) that Pat wasn't fired. He knew I wasn't happy with his performance and following policy. He did the gentlemanly thing and offered his resignation. I accepted.
Which you know as Pat and you have discussed this. Be careful Flatty, there are members inside your party who do send me logs champ ;-o)
It does not matter what Pat and I have discussed, the point is the public were never informed and they are the ones who deserve to know. And you still haven't answered the question...
It matters a great deal. I respected his decision and did the dutiful thing. He stated quite clearly he was not prepared to follow administration policy, I discussed the matter with Ranger and I accepted his resignation - with praise.
Your role as a political officer with gain to be had to recruit people to your cause has been marred with personal attacks on the government for your failures as Prime Minister. You led Australia into an open ended conflict, with no transition brief or respect for your would-be predecessors - and I was left to clean up your mess.
Unbeknown to you, whatever transitional issues I had with game mechanics were met and I did what you couldn't - own Indonesia.
I should note that as an officer in TWO, I will be filing a complain with Kravenn as your conduct here. Considering HQ are about to send you both packing, at least have some dignity with ONE office you have held and not be a spiteful person now.
God day sir o/
P.S. Budget has been submitted to forums (I use that term loosely as Senate is prorogued - hmm thanks to which CP? Oh yeah - you .. and it was done so before your article was written. Unlike you Flatty I am an open book - not playing kid behind the closed doors of a political party with declared intent towards the Australian Government.
I'm not in Government Mick, you are. And again you are avoiding my questions.This article is about YOU, not me. I am going to ask again.
"What is with our strategy? Why was Saiwun fired? Why are you lashing out at citizens? Why are you devaluing the office of which you hold?"
I eagerly await your response.
why you making a personal complaint about a national issue? TWO HQ is international seems immature to me and makes eAus look like a kindergarten, run by the kids
I'll happily explain any question put. I just don't enter into politically and personally motivated exercises with ex CPs who leave a mess to be tended to.
Saiwun was fired for gross incompetence. I admit you were right about him - he doesn't do anything. 11 days in a decision needed to be made about who was active and who wasn't (ask any Executive member in any department and they will tell you I asked).
I refer to the Cabinet handbook of the Department of Defence and National Supply, which was for record his department as Assistant Ministe😛
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE AND NATIONAL SUPPLY (DoDaNS)
The new department will house the DoD and all national military and supply chains. The MoD will take care of all department needs and refer requests for additional resources to the Prime Minister and Treasurer for action.
[scroll down to standing orders]
Assistant Ministers for Defence: mzCielly (+Saiwun where his name used to be)
Assist Minister with their tasks as allocated. Almost assuredly, Assistant Ministers will be tasked with completing Official Battle Orders for media publication from time-to-time. (Use Department of Defence organisation account to publish).
^ Reason: Failure to perform duties. I explained this to him but English seems not his first language. Before you claim the race card can we agree that Cabinet officers need to speak the same language?? I don't speak his native tongue. His responses to questions on inactivity were evident he clearly did not understand his role despite it being explained to refer to the thread when he took office.
You tell people to use the information on the forums but also condemn the forums at the same time? You believe that my English is not good when it is my mother tongue and I speak it fluently? You fire Pat from DoD without even telling the department? You say I am grossly incompetent when I did work on articles? Just because I am in the same party as Flatty, how on Earth does that effect things, don't judge me by your own standards, what party I choose to be in does not automatically make me corrupt.
Hugh and Claire condemn the forums but use the Cabinet section. Don't be naive Saiwun
I have answered the questions above. As per your lack of service in government, your failure to read remains a wonder of the world.
They don't let government figures use their opinions to influence other- even you mate. Answer the other questions also.
Okay- let me make it simple for you- can you count? Questions is plural:
You believe that my English is not good when it is my mother tongue and I speak it fluently?
You fire Pat from DoD without even telling the department- why?
You say I am grossly incompetent when I did work on articles?
Just because I am in the same party as Flatty, how on Earth does that effect things, don't judge me by your own standards, what party I choose to be in does not automatically make me corrupt.
I told the department and the people of Australia and if my department's (now ex) officers followed the workings of government, let alone tended to their clearly posted duties, they would have known. You struck out on all 3 counts.
Look mate - you're just not suited for government if you don't want to work. I put in 3 years at this before I was put up for CP. I don't know where you get the idea it's all pushing buttons and looking good doing it. There's a lot that goes into it behind the scenes, dealing with dozens of messages from allies a day asking for help and trying to timetable it into battles. There's loads of stuff.
Maybe you should try .. IDK what to suggest because it's hard to get you to show effort at anything but .. sht even try Senate for a bit? Understand our laws and how to write Bills. It's a pretty TL😉R way to go about it but if you start off there you will work out quickly if you can follow it or not.
I've talked to you until I'm blue in the face and nothing ever sinks it so obviously we had some kind of language barrier. You've obviously served in governments that didn't expect anything from you. I've been told same re. you but I made up my own mind to give you a go. I stuffed up by appointing you - my fault I'll wear that. What is not my fault that you can't follow basic instructions. I posted out what was on the Cabinet section and you went "who reads forums?" For starters my Cabinet does.
Language barriers? At least I can read- What part of answer the questions do you not understand?
Evidently the part where I'm now telling you for a 4th time and you still don't understand. I'm not going to apologise for not speaking your language.
BTW before you put too many eggs in Flatty's basket it was he who told me you didn't do anything in last month's Cabinet. Just so you know mate ;-o)
My language is English you arrogant, ignorant racist.
I'm racist because you can't speak English in an English speaking country? How many other languages do you see spoken in the eAustralian community here on a daily basis? Check every article and you'll be lucky to find a scent of Bahasa Indo let alone any others.
I get English is not your first language but why should I have to apologise to you for that? I am who I am and I was born to the country I was. Fk you and your accusations bro you know nothing about my culture. Go and join your boy Flatty making up iRC names to slander people. Real cool kids club of malcontents and halfwits in the ALF. Must pass 2nd grade to gain membership apparently.
English is my first language you bigot.
6 comments of nonsense in a row and you've already put in 6x the work you did in government - which was zero.
Because of stating facts I am a racist and a bigot by saying your a moron? Nah mate it's called stating the truth. First you tell me English isn't your first language (going by profile that matches as true) and now you're saying it IS your first language?
Wow. It just gets dumb and dumber with you.
You keep repeating yourself saying the same thing over despite the fact you have no basis for your statements. Just a kid talking crap over the PC 😕= a good choice for Cabinet. Glad to see the back of you. Enjoy your time in the eAus Kids Club-- oh I mean the ALF 😮)
you're* TJ ; )
Legit question, when will we see a budget? there has been alot of money spent so far
Again an ALF member. Funny how I questioned Flatty about attempting to run policy from a political party and he didn't have the balls to answer. Another point for me.
This has got nothing to do with parties Mick, I was curious a few days ago but let it slide, now your avoiding the question I get worried. I might be a member of the ALF but im my own person and answer only to me, I asked a legit question and get an attack as an answer, hmm wondering if i voted for wrong person
And again no answer from Mick Gatto. We want answers and instead all we get is insults and evasion. It's time you came clean.
The budget has been presented.

i need Vote and Sub
😃
Flatty's making friends with Indonesians? Well, ties in well with his intentions today.
Love You Mick Gatto
i love u too medoxxxxx
We have blocked Poland's advance into Indonesia ???
When I read the indo posts laughing at that I thought it was them being retarded : (
We should have been assisting Poland, - I said so in the Diggers feed.
But I assumed everything was under control & that Poland & Australia were cooperating.
WTF is in charge of this. Geez Mick, history is a teacher, remember about Hitler involving himself in planning & strategy over the advice of his generals, & how that ended.
He shouldn't have fired his MoD to take it over himself. 🙁 Unfortunately we must all pay for the vanity that comes with a taste of power.
hmm care to answer why we did this without a personal attack Mr PM?
As I explained for the 34832432nd time, Pat said quite clearly he wasn't prepared to support government policy. Again, you have admitted this is a political exercise in favour of a party colleague. Case closed ;-o)
Mick, I wanna why we blocked Poland, why we pressed to attack without any delay for them to move first?
Mate I've explained this to Cabinet and Tim, Nicky and everyone else is aware. Poland made ZERO contact with us before they entered. We had no knowledge from the US Ambassador to Australia that US did a deal with Poland for region entry via Hawaii and he has been communicating with me constantly.
But this has now been rectified with the TWO SG stepping in and we'll be co-ordinating with Poland to get them a bridge.
They had been holding Hawaii for 6 days for before we attacked Indo mainland, how was there help expected to arrive if not from there?
i cant even process that comment mick,,,my head just imploded
Nicky6Fingers to Ranger Bob and 14 more people | 2 days ago
we Launched the attack BEFORE we knew what poland was attacking...Poland never let us know what was going on :/...
^ jog your memory now brother? ;-o)
I just didn't know that Poland had to get permission from the USthats what blew my mind up 😉
It blew a lot of people's minds but to say I was responsible in any way for not being told of this behind-the-scenes arrangement is wrong.
I will agree that you didn't do it on purpose (granted we should have known) but what back deal arrangement are we discussing?
The budget has been tabled. Your conspiracy theory is incorrect.
no conspiracy theory on my part, just wondering what we been spending thats all
