The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 348: Chapter 301: Cabinet Election (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

As time tered October, due to the previous conflict with the Dutch and the aftermath of the rubber crisis, Arthur announced the start of the postponed cabinet election.

The third cabinet governmt was fortunate because they served four months longer than their predecessors.

However, they were also unlucky, as the election for the fourth cabinet governmt of Australasia was extremely competitive, which meant that several cabinet ministers might be leaving the cabinet.

On October 7, 9, the election for the fourth cabinet governmt of Australasia officially commced.

Before the election, on October 5, 9, the third cabinet governmt made a performance report on the square outside Sydney Palace and through broadcast form to the whole country.

Compared to the previous two cabinet governmts, the third cabinet governmt underwt significant changes. Moreover, during their ture, Australasia expanded some of its international influce.

Overall, Arthur was very satisfied with the work of the third cabinet governmt. Prime Minister Walter's work was no less than Prime Minister Evan's, and the developmt of various aspects of Australasia was outstanding.

The achievemts of the third cabinet governmt, composed of ts of thousands of words, can be summarized in a few points.

According to Prime Minister Walter's report, the main achievemts of the third cabinet governmt are:

First, vigorously develop the population.

According to Prime Minister Walter's report, during the ture of the third cabinet governmt, the total population of Australasia had grown from less than 7 million to .35 million, with a total increase of over 3.35 million and an average annual growth of over 80,000.

Second, vigorously promote the economy.

Wh the third cabinet governmt took office in 907, the total fiscal revue of the national governmt was only . million Australian dollars, and the total fiscal expditure was as high as 9.3 million Australian dollars, with a fiscal deficit of 8. million Australian dollars.

After four years of developmt, last year the total fiscal revue of Australasia was 64.7 million Australian dollars, total fiscal expditure was 57 million Australian dollars, and there was a surplus of 7.7 million Australian dollars.

In just four years, the annual fiscal deficit of 8. million Australian dollars had turned into an annual fiscal surplus of 7.7 million Australian dollars, and the cabinet governmt deserved great credit.

In addition, the per capita income of Australasia was only 40 Australian dollars in 906, and it reached 48.7 Australian dollars in 9, showing the governmt's emphasis on residts' annual income.

Third, vigorously develop industries.

Industry, as one of the bchmarks of a country's comprehsive strgth, has be a focus of developmt in Australasia since its establishmt.

Since taking office, the industrial developmt of Australasia under the third cabinet governmt has be rapid.

Annual iron production has increased from .33 million tons at the d of 906 to .3 million tons at the d of 9, while annual steel production has increased from 800,000 tons at the d of 906 to .4005 million tons at the d of 9.

In addition, Australasia has vigorously developed domestic iron, coal, petroleum, and other important mineral resources, allowing the extraction of mineral resources to keep pace with consumption.

In addition, during the term of the third cabinet governmt, the cabinet governmt also presided over the construction of the Leonora Industrial Base, expanding various aspects of Australasia's chemical industry, agricultural industry, civil industry, military industry, and the mechanical industry.

Currtly, the Leonora Industrial Base has provided at least 0,000 jobs for Australasia, and it is expected that at least 0,000 jobs will be provided after the completion of the second phase of construction.

Regarding machinery, Australasia has popularized agricultural machinery in several large farmsteads within its territory. This not only saves a large amount of labor for Australasia but also significantly increases food production and accelerates the developmt of agriculture to a certain extt.

In addition to these more important directions, promoting policies in the fields of education, medical care, and other livelihood areas have also be the focus of Prime Minister Walter's speech.

For the third cabinet governmt, advocating for outstanding achievemts is beficial to their pursuit of re-election or higher positions.

Under the expectations of people all over Australasia and the atttion of many media, the election for the fourth cabinet governmt of Australasia officially began on October 7, 9.

This electoral meeting was held in the large meeting room of the Administrative Court and was attded by all members of the House of Represtatives of Australasia.

Up to now, there are a total of 98 people in the House of Represtatives; nearly 60% have joined parties, but almost 40% are non-partisan.

After all, Australasia is an authoritarian country. In addition to restrictions by the Electoral Law and the Party System Law, parties do not provide that significant help to a candidate, so there are quite a few nonpartisan members in the House of Represtatives.

The cabinet election is differt from the parliamtary election because, with less than 300 people participating, the results are esstially produced within a week.

However, this week is very agonizing for all the participating parliamtarians and is a pivotal momt in determining their fate.

In order to show the importance of the cabinet governmt election, Arthur attded the first day of the electoral ceremony and, as usual, declared the solemnity and fairness of the election.

The rest of the time is left to the parliamtarians to freely perform. Besides certain positions requiring a list from Arthur, basically, all members of Parliamt can register, and parties with more than t seats in the House of Represtatives can ev nominate a non-member of the House of Represtatives as one of the candidates for a particular departmt.
