Department of Information Gazette No. 03-07/06/09

by eAus Department of Information
Fellow Australians,
We have managed to receive more reports this week from the respective Ministerial departments and we hope this will keep you informed on the current status of the eAustralian government. These reports are from the previous cabinet under Patti11, and from this week onwards the new cabinet will continue providing reports on their departments.
If you can think of anything you would like covered specifically, please feel free to get in touch with myself (Maverick Goh) either by eRep IM or Forum PM.
Here are the reports:
Department of Information:
Report by Deputy Minister Maverick Goh:
As mentioned last week, we have created a new Department of Information website for ministers to post weekly reports and for the public to view them. You can find the website here: http://doif.auserepublik.com/
We recommend our citizens registering for updates and any new posts will be notified via email.
Department of Finance:
Report by Minister Tim09:
Over the last week there has been a great surge in the demand for AUD. Our currency is selling out much quicker and we are considering the possibility or increasing its value to 0.025 Apart from that the currency values remain stable, the markets are stable and we have the biggest amount of taxes to transfer this week than I have seen before.
We are averaging over a grand a day after paying out the citizen fee and often make over $1100 a day.
We will keep an eye on the demand for AUD, and will consider any further action that needs to be taken in that regard.
We paid for the next round of wargames that should have started by now (I am about to leave for work you can edit that if you want)
For the month we had over 700 new citzens, over $32 000 in taxes and have made back more gold than we spent on the RW, companies and defence.
Report from Deputy Minister Ranger Bob:
We have seen some significant demand on the AUD in recent days, which has driven up gold prices. To protect the economy, we have been ensuring the NBA posts a sufficient quantity at the less extreme rate of 0.024 AUD in order to contain dollar appreciation and protect our economy.
In other news, the finances for Centrelink are still well within our approved budget, thanks largely to Aussie Vegeta and Santic, who have been doing exceptional work with MoI in consultation with the Treasury. I expect we will have good news to deliver to eAustralia at the end of this financial cycle.
Department of Industry:
Report by Minister Aussie Vegeta:
Centrelink has been running quite well, there have been more citizens starting to work for the companies again. I attribute this to 2 things, 1. average wages starting to fall again. 2. Incentive given to the ACUK soldiers earlier this week, that if they work for one of the companies that they are given extra weapons.
The Market has been quite stable, I think that people are now used to the prices sitting where they are now, slightly higher than average, but have come down considerably from when we first took QLD and war-games started.
We have started looking at the RRP's and bringing them in line with this.
Department of Foreign Affairs:
Report by Minister Mouj:
This week in Foreign Affairs no actual action has been taken by our department. We see the resistance war in Tasmania is on and that has nothing to do with Australia. I have also received constant messages from the US embassy. They seem to be watching everything we do...
Department of Social Services:
Report by Minister Timothy Rogers:
This week I have just been doing the war games and gifting programme, it's been pretty quiet. I gift about 1-2 people a day spending an average of about 30 AUD each day.
Department of Culture:
Report from outgoing Minister StewartB:
eMentor has still been goign strong with 12 Mentors Volunteering and 25 Mentees participating this month. Also we have 5 people come back from overseas through MT's sponsored from the MoC as well.
The Senate:
The following proposals and bills have been placed before the Senate:
Removal of Icey1174 from the Senate

Portfolio budget act amendment June/09:
This amendment was proposed to make cabinet departments more accountable and transparent as well as reduce the workload of ministers and the Treasurer. It was proposed that cabinet departments be allocated a budgeted amount once at the beginning of their portfolios. If more funds were required, they would have to explain the reasons for it. An emergency fund would be set up for each portfolio if they ran over the budget. For more information: http://forum.auserepublik.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1166

Public-Private Housing Project – 06/09
Do you REALLY think that if someone can afford a Q5 house that they REALLY need help from the government to buy it????
I got kicked out of Senate because these people have no idea what they are talking about! Government programs SHOULD ONLY be for people that really need help, not people with 30 Gold!
I was approached by a group of people to invest in this company. They WILL earn profits on this government contract. DO NOT LET YOUR TAX MONEY PAY THE WEALTHY!
This is an outrage!
John
nice article Mav looking forward to working with you this term (again) 😉
Very nice.
You want to play games on the eAus News, that's fine. Br0ad is able to deliberately mouth off about sensitive material on the eAus chatroom without as much as a word said against him. A number of congress members are permitted to even use foul language & that's deemed to be acceptable. Simple fact, actions taken by Pred are solely a vandetta. There's zero consistancy & zero reason to trust what comes from there.
Nicely done Mav.
good article Mav, that was excellent for your first 1 😛
I actually did the previous one as well but that's alright 😃 I just chose to be a ghost writer for XG hehehe
@AW: I have no intentions to play games on the eAus media. My role is simply to inform the public about what's going on in the Senate. You will notice that there're no opinions/comments in the article at all. Just reporting what's been happening.
You have asked for transparency and I hope this is one step towards satisfying what you have been lobbying for as a Senator.
wow, talk about triple posting.
Awesome Job, Voted.
At Icey.. You're only against that because it'll destroy your housing blackmarketting schemes. Stop thinking about yourself and think about the public.
I hate to say this... but icey is right. Programs like this should be around to help poor people afford houses, not the already considerably wealthy.
You havnt read the proposal have you Patrick 😕.
Very informative.
Thanks
Good information for the masses
@ PR
You don't have to hate to agree with anyone. It only proves that you can think for yourself and agree when something totally makes sense.
@ SRG91
There is just NO place for the government to be in business of building, supplying, or financing the biggest mansions that only the wealthy can afford no matter what the proposal. The government should not be in business to turn a profit. If that's the case then all taxes SHALL be repealed immediately.
I was approached to be an investor in this program. I turned it down because Q5 Houses can be bought on the black market for less money than one can be produced for in our country. It is just a disaster in the making to cost tax payers money and continue to line the pockets of the rich that hold the government contracts. lol... and I was kicked out of the senate... lol...
The government SHOULD focus on Q1 housing first. That did not go so well, did it?
John
@AW: So you don't think it's slightly paradoxical that you're a member of the Government and you're telling people to not believe anything coming from the Government.
If I used your logic, I wouldn't believe anything you're saying either; therefore, I could trust the Government. 😉
Voted; good article
But if you don't believe AW coz he told you not to you don't have to believe what he says therefore you don't have to not believe him. Starting the cycle all over again.
Hence, all our brains explode and God has to start earth YET again.
On a serious note, I feel that any resource supplying information such as this is a valuable asset when trying to achieve transparency as well as an easy way of presenting information.
Good Job.
If you want to go against Pred when he yet again attempts to get me banned from the senate. Opps, some of you support his sensorship regime. Or is it just depending on who it is?
The government DOES NOT!!! need to help people buy a Q5 House. With war games going on, does anyone even need a Q5 House? No! A Q5 House is only a symbol of prosperity. No one needs a symbol to be actually prosperous. And speaking of prospering... what's to stop the people who get these Q5 Houses from moving to some other country and selling them on the Black Market for a lot more Gold?
You really want to help people with a government sponsored Housing project? Try to make Q2 Houses affordable and available for new players to buy with those first 5 Gold they get for reaching level 6.
