Corey Blake's Prime Minister Platform [Part 2]
•
by Corey Blake
In part 2 of my Prime Minister Platform, I will be covering the military, the economy, and multi-partisanism.
Military
With V2 coming out in the coming months, it is vital that we prepare for the changes. That is why, if elected, I will start the plans for a re-structuring of the Australian Military. I will make it top priority for each branch of the military to start creating squads to fit the military needs in V2. I will meet daily with each Marshal and the Ministry of Defense to ensure the process of re-structuring runs smoothly and gets done before the end of my term.
In addition to that, I have been hearing from some AAR soldiers that weapon runs are all over the place, and that there is no set policy. So, I am making a campaign promise, For every Defensive war, 5 weapons, for every Offensive war, 3 weapons. We must have guidelines put in place to ensure the safety and well being of the Australian people, and this promise ensures that.
Economy
Let's be blunt, the economy stinks right now. Consumer confidence is down. I propose that we re-new our taxes, as so:

This new tax structure will create competition within Australia and allow the Australian economy to expand. I support this tax re-structure, but I am willing to listen to Australian business owners thoughts, who are the ones this affects primarily, so feel free to express your views on this.
Daily management of the monetary market to ensure the safety of the AUD, so I will put together a team of expert economists to help keep the AUD in prime condition. Mismanagement of the GFCs can lead to economic woes, so I will push for daily updates on the condition of our GFCs to ensure Australia has a safety net, economically. Also, in order to get our housing sector building, I plan on proposing to the Minister of Industry a subsidy plan, to approved companies, to encourage business owners to start housing companies. A careful analysis process would be taken in the approval of companies, so your tax dollars won't go to waste.
Multi-Partisanism
An issue that has plagued Australia for as long as I can remember is partisanship. I want to eliminate the cross-party bickering and to do this, I plan on meeting weekly, if not more, with Presidents of each party in Australia, to gather input from them and their party. I will discuss issues arising in Australia and how each feels on how we, as a nation, should approach each situation. I hope to establish guidelines to ensure that this becomes a trend in administrations to follow mine and keep partisanship at bay, to ensure unity.

Vote for a PM with a big snake, vote Corey Blake.
Nice article mate.
Coreyblakes milkshake brings all the voters to the yard...
Please explain how the economy stinks, how "consumer confidence" is down and what that even means in eRep, and how mismanagement of GFC's have led to economic woes we have seen lately?
I'm just curious because the economy is booming with GDP being over 3000 every day for quite a while and eAus peaking at #7 in GDP rank, and I don't know of any GFC mismanagement and how that would lead to economic woes.
Corey.....we have a Housing GFC under Centrelink's Org.
Its finding the Workers to work in the Constuction Field at the moment that is the issue.
This guy is full of win!
Full of Broken Promise and Re-gurgetated Ideas.
I'd work in construction but tbh with new hospital rules working anything above a Q3 job is worrying to me
Endorsed and supported. CB FTW!
CB's on the front foot, which puts him in the lead in my book.
Great tax policy, and good military stuffs
I shall critique your policies Corey, as you should do with mine:
"That is why, if elected, I will start the plans for a re-structuring of the Australian Military. I will make it top priority for each branch of the military to start creating squads to fit the military needs in V2."
What does this even mean? You are going to change the structure for something that isn't even out yet. Look I am all for preparing for V2 but the reality is we are still in V1, and we need to cater the military for the current military module, not the future one.
The economy: I am in agreement with Wally here, Australia's economy is BOOMING, and its time we take advantage of this boom. As for your housing idea, anyone remember PP housing? It made a killing for itself and the government, but THE ANP ITSELF scrapped it (infin to be exact). Their is minimal difference from what I have seen between these schemes, so hypocrisy is running wild here.
Lastly, Australia should be taking advantage of ITS LAND RESOURCES NOT CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. Plus, how many housing companies does this country need? If this goes through a monopoly or duopoly will occur.This policy is very un ANP like, and surprising a right wing candidate will promise such a plan.
PLUS, these companies are in the unknown for Australia when it comes to V2. Any way So much for planning for the future eh?
Partisanship: Nothing wrong with that, but the people will elect you for your policies, not another party's.
PP Housing's funding was ended by the Senate actually Patti11 on a vote of all Senators. It was ended in agreement with Cottus (AMP) and the Australian Independents. Everyone agreed it did not have sufficient transparency or documentation. I am not opposed to a housing GFC by any means, but I am opposed to handouts to private companies, no matter how well-intentioned.
Preparation for v2 is essential Patti and we have a fair idea of how the military module will work. Say a squad will be four ppl and have one of each type of soldier and in similar time zones. This type of planning although not activated until the release of v2 will ensure a smooth transition, saying don't worry about it, its months away is dangerous... the earlier the better.
i stand corrected then infin but the essence of that argument is still the same. You said it yourself you are against handouts or "subsidies" and I think many ANP are, which leads me to believe this is a rushed and not discussed policy.
#adam: I agree with you to a degree, we need to be prepared for v2, but not to the point where the current structure of the military under the v1 military module is hindered
My plan for re-structuring the military is strictly for V2, and as such, will wait for V2 to take effect.
good luck corey
there are currently two threads on the forums regarding the V2 military module. I'm sure they will evolve as we have more information. I'm also putting together a think tank on the subject with any interested parties, but am seeking out those with wargaming experience - hexgrid, strategy, etc. Its a completely non-politicised discussion. so apoligies for spamming the thread, but it is related.
Should I vote for Corey just because his names starts with C? For me it's gone Cerri, Cozza, Cottus X2, Cerb.... 😛
hey Patti - where's your platform???
hey CrowdedHouse - where's your mudslinging article???
What... you mean you actually want one DV??
Its not a matter if I want one. Its a matter of WHEN your publishing one like you always do.
What's mudslinging got to do with it? There's not time for that, there is so much policy to roll out.
It's only cause I speak the truth DV - I may not always be popular, but you can always be assured I speak the truth.
Holy Christ, CH always speaks the truth? I was just going on the assumption that he made mistakes sometimes but now this changes my whole view of eReality111
CB FTW
I would disagree Wally that the eAus economy is "booming" because quite frankly no economy is booming. Prices have dropped dramatically on almost all fronts, with exceptions such as diamonds and gifts due to the hospital fix.
Businesses are stockpiling, prices have fallen like there's no tomorrow and just because our GDP is high ranked doesn't mean the economy is. Finally we do see mismanagement of GFCs, quite a lot of the time we see them taking jobs away from businesses that are actually struggling to survive on their own.
The PP Housing subsidy as such was around 300-400 gold per month. That is huge by anyones standards. What was worse, most of the cheap houses were being sold overseas at below market prices - maybe there was a lack of demand in eAus but the fact remains it was a massive misuse of govt money.
Any future susbsidy arrangement needs to be considered very carefully.- its much the same issue for GFC's. Often circumstances change and the purpose may become less relevant or the method to achieve the goal needs to change. Government needs to be on the ball with such things ar review them properly at least once per month.
15% is too high, 12% max.
@agentgreeny - I think by any measure the economy is booming. Two months ago the media were filled with articles about how high prices were and how the government needed to do something. Wages dipped for a bit, but they are back where they were. With lower prices we can export! That is what causes a boom economy. No economy can boom relying totally on the internal economy unless they are experiencing a continuous baby boom (or use multifarms, block imports and export like crazy - for those people we can use an embargo against them).
Today our GDP is #14. Two months ago #43. Ranking #14 > #43. Boom!
I almost always call out people who say the economy "stinks" or that something is "going to ruin the economy". Don't say it, prove it. Where's the proof?
And I still haven't seen what mismanagement of GFC's have occured that have led to current economic woes. Or what consumer confidence is.
Basically, Corey's platform is fairly substence-less. I hope he takes the time between now and the election to get with his advisors and tweek it up some.
It is not a matter of focusing on construction - it is giving construction a chance and making it accessible to eAustralians. Better housing is an enduring asset to our country. I am not against against government funding into the construction industry, but please not via an opaque handout.
Obviously titanium will be an influential resource, but no way will I support a policy of "do nothing". It could be a year before v2 is in - who knows.
The whole concept of mass GFCs is fundamentally flawed. I was discussing this with Dante last night - the GFC sector relies on the dedication/altertness of one-two people (volunteers at that) - the MoI and deputy. I'm not criticising the current Minister but a where a system of government's resources relies on one or two people is flawed. It would be much better to spread the risk to prevent an epic failure. I wonder if the GFCs always have the market prices for labour? No one would even know due to the amount of weapons for work handed out and the fluctuating prices they are cost out at as compared to regular workers who get cash.
The economy went through a brief spike, but already this has cooled, gift prices having dropped 30% over the last week. This is the essence of a boom and bust market but we need to have underlying growth in other industries and more construction participation could give us that breadth.
My concern is that the currency has not been actively managed during this period and the government has not delivered as stable a currency as could have been. And in the process Treasury has lost a potential gold windfall.
I admire Corey Blake for having the GUTS to put his policies out there early for scrutiny and his tax policy is I think a real winner. He has obviously given serious consideration to it and not simply picked random numbers. He is taking the campaign seriously and taking the voters seriously. Not just riding on his reputation.
"I shall critique your policies Corey, as you should do with mine:"
Usually for someone to critique your policies, you have to have some lmao.
You finally got some out a couple of hours ago. sad.
Patti11 what you totally fail to understand about housing (especially high quality) is that if we put a house on the market here it is far more likely to be sold to an overseas citizen than an Australian one. So this idea that it is possible to have too many Aussie housing companies when housing is the boom industry in eRep at the moment is absurd.
Patti11 in relation to land not sure if you ever have a look at the job market but land jobs are like 50% what they were a week ago. Why is this so - because the land boom - has matured - there have been massive production boosts in diamonds out of Russia.
From what I can see it appears that it is Corey Blake who is in touch with what is happening in our economy and it is Patti11 who is floundering in out of date information
we dont have the workers Savon to be forcing an industry to be our primary industry, you know that. You also know that its too early to be investing in housing, because we dont know stone distribution, and it could leave Australian housing businesses in trouble. I know you and ANP don't support this policy, your better then following it blindly
Vote Bass for PM!
What does consumer confidence mean please? Or are you conveniently ignoring that for the tenth time?
Discrate1 = troll. Dude get a grip, just because someone has policies out first doesn't mean they know what they're doing. Patti will be the one with an article in the top 5 on election day because he's planned it so, he's been here, got the t shirt and burnt it. Racing to get policies out will not always guarantee the best policies.

Sorry cory..but I trust Patti more and I think he will take us to glory.
As long as he corrects his past mistakes. E.g: Lack of Communication.
Patti you are so so out of touch - the land boom started coming off a week ago - have a look at the job market - the key to aussie prosperity right now is construction. This is not to say there are not opportunities in land - wheat prices are rising fast - albeit from a low base - and diamonds are still the highest price in gold terms of all land comodities. Right now though we need government to support construction - to get labour into construction - there is a guy who has been trying to sell q1 houses to newbies for $600 - what a rip off.
Patti I think one day you need to get your head out of the forum and actually have a look at the markets as to what is going in this country. Im sorry to say this coz you are a great guy but mate we are now day 862 not day 202 and the place is a whole lot more sophisticated now.
Good Luck Blake
