5) what will you to get the military larger, stronger and more active?
6) if you have got 60ish people in your party since you started why hasnt there been a large increase of people enlisting in the AAR?
7) do you think the army needs more funding?
😎 do you think Australia should formally join eden/broalliance, stay in Sol, form a new alliance with other neutral nationsor join PEACE?

most parties answered and here are there responses

ADSP
answered by John.Smith

1) As low as financially viable while allowing state benefits to low wellness players

2) I believe each ADSP senator has voted to decrease tax.

3) We believe we have reached a good level.

4)We have several gifting programs and activity programs being run to encourage members to sign up on the forum.

5) We support the gifting of weapons to low strength players so as to allow high health and faster rank increases.

6) N/A

7) It needs as much funding as is required to support regular weapon handouts to all branches.

😎 We support our PM's actions.


ANP:
answered by Bass Junkie

1) The lower the better.

2) The ANP plans on minimising government intervention in order to increase the profits of companies, and the pay of citizens. A free market is a prosperous market.

3) No, there should be less. Anything currently done by a GFC could be done by a private company that is contracted to the government, allowing GMs to make profit and the government to get goods at a cheaper rate.

4) Our party is open to all who wish to get involved in politics, and we support the initiatives that are currently in place such as the AAR being open to all, and boot-camp for those who wish to learn more. Our very own Iwarrior is the man behind the action in boot-camp, and I believe he has taken the role of senate school in Mel's absence.

5) We support the funding of the military as one of the only things the government should be funding. In addition to the above, we encourage all our members to get involved in the AAR if they are not already.

6) Most ANP members are part of the military 😛

7) At the moment, I believe the military is funded quite well. If we are directly involved in a war, we will re-evaluate our stance on military funding.

😎 We are in support of the proposal to join EDEN that was put forward by Patti11. This will ensure our protection from the sleeping giant, and grant us access to more regular battles.

AMP
answered by dylan of the darkness

1) there should be enough tax to fund the military and any other government funded projects

2) more GFCs for people to work in and get given products in exchange for their work

3) yes all military personnel should be encouraged to work in the companies. GFC workers will gain free items (Weapons, Gifts, Food) in exchange for their work. They will work minimum wage (or as close to as feasibly possible based on economic analysis) for the goal of producing cheap products for the use of the population

4)increase military funding and more wars to make the game more fun low and middle level players

5) increase funding and give more weapons to low level players

6)all members of AMP will be expected to join the military but it is not required

7) yes so lower level players get more weapons

😎 we support our PM Patti11s proposal to join EDEN

ACP
answered by Dean Kong

1) The ACP support a planned economy, free from the exploitations and economic limitations of the current situation seen now.

2) We believe that communes would be best, free weapons, food, houses, MT's, while
working for minimum wage

3) Depends which government is funding

4) Starting them in our communes so that they have high wellness, access to weapons and can not be worried of dying or maintaining health

5) # The ACP support a strong, well organised Defence Force, ALWAYS separate from the party.
# The ACP believes in strong and good relations with our Indonesian neighbours.
# The ACP supports a democratic military.

6) N/A

7) See question 5

😎 See Question 5, part 2.

AI

Australian independents has no need to answer because all members may have different views

PaPP
answered by
PaPP have refused to answer any questions about policy except to "helping is our policy". all parties are trying to help in there own way their policy is how they go about that.


TBP
answered by TheBlackAdder

1) Income tax should be low and import tax at an appropriate level for each resourse (depending on our regions)
10% is really the maximum we should ever look at except for extreem emergencys

2) Encouraging exports will help, a better worker to company ratio and education also play a big part

3) No, unless a need arises we have more than enough already

4) Active forum community is always great, getting people involved is the best way, more competitions ect as run by DoCS

5) Lower level soldiers should get funding too, but only if they reply to roll calls frequently

7) See 5 mostly, in short yes

😎 If its going to be good for us, I would consider joining EDEN strongly, it gets us out there on the world stage and I think were ready for that. Sol would be nice to stay in, supporting our smaller neighbors in any way we can. A new alliance..I dont think the eWorld is ready for that quite yet. Neutral is out of the question for us now due to recent events. PEACE right now I would say no, Maintaining our relationship with indo is very important, but I dont think PEACE is for us.
