Garven's Proposed Cabinet and Platform
Garven Dreis
Hello eAustralia!
As stated in my previous article, I am running for the position of Prime Minister this term, and in this article I will announce my proposed cabinet. So without further ado;
Garven Dreis' Proposed Cabinet for December 2009
Deputy Prime Minister: Cerridwen Voeland
Cerridwen is a proven leader, and I am honoured to be able to have her as my Deputy and second in charge. She is a highly active member of the community and also has what is best for eAustralia in mind. Cerridwen and I work very well together, and so I plan to continue with this active trend.
Minister of Foreign Affairs: Mark Sanchez
Deputy: Dycey Farley
Mark is a veteran of Foreign Affairs, and has had ample experience in negotiations. New to the team is Dycey Farley, who while new, as shown potential as a leader, and this position will only allow her to gain more experience within eAustralia.
Minister of Defense: Newt Gingrich
Deputy: Timeoin
Newt is a highly experienced player and has agreed to handle to portfolio of Defense alongside Timeoin who will act as his deputy. Newt ha shown an ability for organisation, and especially with the time difference, will allow us to better coordinate strategies with overseas militaries.
Minister of Industry: sir c0nstant
Deputy: dylan of the darkness & Sir David Newton
SC is a highly experienced player who has a knack for the mechanics side of eAustralia's industry. He is person with one of the highest work ethics I know, and I know he will excel this term. Joining the team is Sir David Newton, who will assist SC in this portfolio.
Minister of Immigration, Customs and Security: Bass Junkie
Deputy: Dean Kong
Bass Junkie is a highly active player who will no doubt allow us to keep the highest level of security possible at our borders. Joining him is Dean Kong, a very experienced player who will assist Bass Junkie in making informed decisions and acting as guidance throught the portfolio.
Minister of Finance: Savonreapus
Deputy: Schoft
Savonreapus is a financial genius (If I may say so myself). He is an outstanding player, and I feel that I can trust him with such an important portfolio. Joining to assist him is Schoft, and together I know they will make a good team.
Minister of Information: Corey Blake
Deputy: Howeidark
Both these players show outstanding skill for the written word, and I am confident they will be able to accurately report on my Government's dealings to allow both accountability and transparency.
Minister of Cultural Services: Scotywest (Stewstoyc)
Deputy: Nomlah
Both these players are very active and have shown an interest in furthering the eAustralian community. Scoty brings experience to the table while Nomlah will be able to use his background to make sure that this portfolio is run smoothly and effectively
Intermission
This is not me
Garven's Platform
Domestic Affairs
Domestically, I plan to continue Cerridwen's work and expand the eAustralia's current active population by at least 10%. This is reflected by one of my in-game national goals.After watching the political farces that occurred last term, I will be speaking to members of the community to address the issue and ideally prevent it from reoccurring.
Economically speaking, I would also like to address the sustainability of certain industries with only medium regions. While they are game-mechanics wise 'inviable', I do think that further discussion should be undertaken to make sure that all our company managers are informed of the implications of running a raw materials business in a medium region. The second national goal I have set is increasing the GDP by 2%. While this may not seem like much, It's a nice goal to be able to achieve, and will look awesome if we can.
International Affairs
I plan to continue close relations with the Sol Alliance, and I will be continuing on as the Sol Military Commander. The Sol Alliance has proven itself as a uniting force and also allows us to be much closer and have good relations with other countries.
I do like to continue good relations with eIndonesia as the Non-Aggression Pact is in place, but I would also like to continue to look into the possibility of eAustralia joining EDEN. While negotiations have currently been put on hold since the Malaysian debacle, I still would like restart them.
In this respect, the third and final nation goal I have set this term is that eAustralia holds all of it's current regions.I know this sounds pretty pointless, but it is always a nice thing to have eAustralia whole.
Military Matters!
I would like to see a reform of the military, and would like to seek input from both former and current military commanders into the restructure of the military. As a military commander myself, I can sympathize to a point about how frustrating running a military can be, so hopefully this restructure will be able to streamline the military into an effective fighting force full of win.
Closing Comments

First Denied!
Poor choice for dMoICS
Vote Garven!! Vote ACP
Good luck Garven!
Good luck 🙂
w00t for your cabinet choices!
solid choices for MoIF 🙂
but a few questions:
"Mark is a veteran of Foreign Affairs, and has had ample experience in negotiations"
What experience?
Why two deputies for dMoI, from experience, one barely does a thing!
"Minister of Finance: Savonreapus" "I can trust him with such an important portfolio"
I'm glad you trust him but can you expect the rest of Australia to? Nothing against Savonreapus but his activity isn't necessarily Minister material (10 posts on the forums, 0.08 a day) and I rarely see him on IRC. A risky move.
"expand the eAustralia's current active population by at least 10%. This is reflected by one of my in-game national goals."
great! but how?
"and I will be continuing on as the Sol Military Commander"
I think you underestimating the work load of the Prime Minister here, good luck though.
Nothing about Indonesia as well, that is a huge part of our Foreign Affairs.
Nothing solid in your military policy either, we all want reform, but how will you do it?
I'd like to second Patti's concern with Savonreapus as MoF. He has stated that he doesn't like forums, and this will make it very difficult for him to function in that position. I have nothing against him personally.
Garven, are you for or against increasing the income tax on medium RM companies?
Garven your my hero!!!
You wanted to speak to me Garven 😉
Go Scoty!!! there will be a new win e-culture in eAustralia.
Get Work 🙂 You've got mine and the PaPP full support!
>"I do like to continue good relations with eIndonesia as the Non-Aggression Pact is in place"
There is eIndonesia
"Nothing solid in your military policy either, we all want reform, but how will you do it?"
This has been brought up in the last few days, I am still getting grips on the situation. The public will be informed of any decisions or implementations.
"What experience? [Does Mark have]"
Mark has already been involved in foreign affairs.
"I'm glad you trust him but can you expect the rest of Australia to? Nothing against Savonreapus but his activity isn't necessarily Minister material (10 posts on the forums, 0.08 a day) and I rarely see him on IRC. A risky move."
PaPP doesn't always participate on IRC or forums, but you know the exist? I have been assured by Savon that he will be active an able to fulfill the portfolio
Patti11 I am always available on irc after change of day. In relation to trust I operate 8 companies all bar 1 (half full) full of active employees so have a significant personal investment in the eAustralian economy and by having a policy of employing active workers cover a significant portion of the active eAustralian workforce. I personally fund additional workers to support the wellbeing of my workforce. I also make a significant contribution to the economy by ensuring that premiums on the money market are not all lost to overseas traders which has been the case ever since I joined eRep end of July this year.
In relation to the forum I have only recently been drafted to the executive so my contribution rate needs to be discounted to reflect that short period.
I do however thank you for your observation and am happy to discuss any economic matter you may wish to raise with me. Just because I do not regularly participate in mere banter does not mean I am not active.
The PaPP supports you mate. We have your back.
I hate elitists
as a new MOD's apprentice i would like to know where that leaves me, please reply in a PM
thanks

@Savonreapus: Thanks for that but unfortunately, I just do not know you enough to put my trust in such a position. I hope you understand.
@Garven: As for Mark I know he is in Foreign Affairs, I would just like to know what experience he has in negotiations as you mentioned

@patti11 - I think the unfortunate thing is that you have obviously failed to extend your knowledge to the major business owners of this country yet puport to use your knowledge to determine who is fit our otherwise for a financial position. However one thing we do know is that we can trust no one not to make a mistake so for that you are forgiven.
To put this watch out for mistake philosophy into action if on being appointed to an executive position one of the first things that I will be doing is moving a motion to ensure the total value of assets held by the trading bank at any one time is limited to an operating level and all other assets of the bank are moved to treasury. With this in place never under my watch will we have to suffer the indignity and pain of the major losses we have suffered recently.
Btw patti11 think you are lookin up the wrong guy it is Savonrepus 🙂
Good luck, Garven.
I am an employee of Sav and he is a very good buisnesman he not only pays my wage but he is someone i turn to for support and financial help he is someone worth trusting just yesterday he helped me in finding a Q5 house he bought it and then i gave him the gold and he gave me the house no contracts no nothing just trust i believe savonrepus is a good person and a great person to take the role of MoF and with experience there is always a start.
I too would like to state that I'm an employee of Sav's, and have always found him to be a clever, insightful and resourceful player. His skills are in the areas of finance, however, not in PR -- which is probably what you'd want in an MoF anyway.
Ooops. Soz, I forgot I was supposed to be opposing Garven. Ra ra ra! Down with Garven! Ahahahaha, I feel better now.
