[Dept of Information] H.Nelson Government - Cabinet Duties

Day 1,346, 18:44 • Published in Australia Australia • by Mr Crumpets


Good Morning eAustralia,

For the moment, this newspaper will be the temporary home of the Australian Government's Department of Information.

We hope soon the government will be able to get access again to the org eAus Department of Information so we can begin publishing articles there again.

Note: The last time an article was published in that org was on Day 1,164

Today's article is to give you a brief run down in the roles and responsibilities of the cabinet members in the H.Nelson Government.

Deputy Prime Minister: Majester (GGP)

Prime Minister H.Nelson originally finished as the runner up in the July 5th elections.

However, due to the impeachment of the winner DocterDry a few days ago by the newly elected senate (Vote 15-5), game machanics demand that the next place getter becomes the leader.

H.Nelson's term will run until the next Prime Minister elections on August 5th, unless an impeachment succeeds before hand (as per game mechanics).

The PM has appointed Majester as Deputy Prime Minister[/b] and one of his first tasks was to issue roles and responsibilities of all ministers, as you will see below.
