DA's Cabinet

Day 470, 15:19 • Published in Australia Australia • by ADSP

Hello again Australia!
I was going to post this sooner, but with Tecchi resigning as being available to be the MoD, I've had to to do a "pre appointment shuffle," and as such have been unable to confirm all the new positions.

Deputy Prime Minister / Minister of Defence
patti11 - This guy is one of the most active players I've ever seen (aside from taytaz 😉 ), he's held several different cabinet positions over the past few months. He is more than capable of running things if I ever were absent.

Deputy Minister of Defence
Deilos - Deilos is a self proclaimed "battle monkey," and has a TON of experience to bring to the table in terms of the Military.

Minister of Finance
haugenmatt - haugenmatt has shown himself to be a very responsible person in the while time I've known him. Perfect trait for someone in charge of the nations treasury.

Minister of Industries
Cottus Arci - Current PM, very sound logic in terms of the economy. He said he'd remain until a replacement could be found.

Minister of Foreign Affairs
calibur - Two term MoFA under PM Cottus Arci, he's done a tremendous job raising the profile of Australia on the international scene.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs
Tantis - Tantis has some very valuable experience and information that has been very instrimental in keeping us informed about what is happening on the international stage. I really can't say any more then that, or I might not live through the night 😉

Minister of Culture
Mr. Awesome - In all honesty, I'm really surprised that calibur didn't want Mr. Awesome in his Cabinet. I don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that this is one of the "rising stars" of the ANP, and even though I don't really agree with some of his ideas, that's precisely why I want him in it: to present another perspective on things (not that you don't do that already calibur and Tantis 😉 ).

Minister of Social Services
widdows9000
- Two quick things about widds:
1. Whenever he says anything it practically "oozes wisdom."
2. He usually gets all the Medicare gifting done within a few hours of the list being posted in the forums. Need I say more?

I know that my proposed Cabinet is much smaller than caliburs. It's simply because I don't see the need to appoint a Minister of Information and a Minister of Statistics. I believe that a government can't operate effectively when there are "too many Chiefs, and not enough Indians." Any other cabinet positions, in my opinion are, unneeded and merely serve to bloat the cabinet.

Minister of Information Duties should be handled by the Deputy Prime Minister (part of the job in my opinion), and Minister of Statistics jobs are actually being handled by the out-going Prime Minister, Cottus Arci, and I will take up those duties myself when I'm elected.
