Rise of Australia

Chapter 152 Term Extension

Chapter 152 Term Extension
1902 was a prosperous year for Australia. After two years, various construction developments have shown results. The benefits brought to Australians by a large amount of infrastructure construction are far more than these.

"In the new year, the main goal of the government is still to continue our construction plan. In the new year, I hope that our current railway sections that are open to traffic can be connected to the port, effectively enhancing the transportation efficiency of our industrial areas across the country At the same time, the security situation must be taken seriously. While our cities expand and the population grows, the security environment in Australia must also be maintained at a good level." Arthur made the final summary and ordered.

Generally speaking, the development of Australia is still very smooth. Although it is impossible to reach the status of a world power in a short period of time, after a long period of development, everything has a chance.

"Prime Minister Evan, I remember that the term of your cabinet government is coming to an end, right?" Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Arthur suddenly asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness. The term of the first cabinet government is three years, starting in June 1900 and ending in June 6." Prime Minister Evan replied immediately.

"Is it only half a year?" Arthur nodded when he heard the words, and after thinking carefully for a while, he continued: "The government is well prepared for the cabinet election in half a year. Starting from the next cabinet government, the term of office of cabinet members will be changed to four years. years, and everything else remains the same.”

The change of the term of cabinet members from three years to four years was the result of Arthur's careful consideration.After all, the three-year tenure is too short, even if it has been developed dully, the results have just been revealed.

What's more, each cabinet government will eventually change, and the government composed of different cabinet members cannot guarantee the unity of opinions and consistency of policies.

If the development and construction are affected to a certain extent due to the election of the cabinet change, it will not be worth the loss.

Although Arthur has decided to change the term of the cabinet government to four years at this time, it will take some time until the Australian Constitution is officially changed.

And Arthur didn't want these cabinet members to think that the modification of the term of office was specially prepared for them. Therefore, the change of the cabinet term of office would not take effect until the next cabinet government.

This is actually testing the prestige and convincing power of these cabinet members among the people.If they can stand out again in the cabinet election half a year later and stay in their positions, they can get a longer term.

But if they are not convincing enough among the people and the votes are not enough to keep them in their current positions, they may be the first and last cabinet government members in Australian history with a term of only three years.

Sure enough, when Arthur announced his decision to extend his term for one year from the next cabinet government, basically everyone's faces showed joy and contemplation.

In the past two years since taking office, no matter what department they are in, these ministers have made certain achievements, and they have made great changes in each department.

Arthur was not stingy with their rewards. In addition to some financial rewards and verbal rewards, the most important thing for them was to announce the rewards in the Victoria News and the Australian Daily.

At this stage of Australia's development, the only newspapers that have truly entered the Australian national market are the Victorian and the Australian Daily.

Although these two newspapers belong to two newspaper offices in name, the scope of responsibility and customers are somewhat different.

But in fact, these two newspapers are all affiliated to the royal consortium, and the real controller behind them is Arthur.

With the support of the royal consortium, these two newspapers easily controlled the entire Australian market.

It is precisely because the scope of responsibility of the two newspapers is completely different that the two newspapers can survive peacefully.

Of course, when encountering more important moments for Australia, the two newspapers will publish important news in a unified manner. This is the only time when the Victorian News and the Australian Daily can have the same news on the same page.

It is precisely because these officials occasionally make them appear in one of the Victorian newspaper and the Australian daily because of Arthur's happy mood, they will have full confidence in the election half a year later.

Even if it is only a small section of the page, there are not even many news reports.But after all, it is also a national newspaper with customers covering the whole of Australia. In this age when there are no entertainment facilities, newspapers are the best way for people to spend their time.

According to statistics, among the population of more than 400 million in Australia, more than 30 customers have subscribed to newspapers.

Among them, more than 15 people have become daily users of the two newspapers.In other words, the combined daily sales of the Australian Daily and the Victorian newspaper reached more than 15 people, which is a publicity channel for at least 15 people.

Even more than that, many families will only order one newspaper, but the number of people who read the newspaper is almost half of the family.

In addition, there are many people who stay in front of the newspaper office and browse newspapers in a hurry. Although the sales share of newspapers is only more than 15, the number of people who read newspapers every day is at least as high as 40.

What kind of scary concept is this?One-tenth of the Australian population watches these two newspapers every day, and the people who can be featured in these two newspapers can also be said to be famous throughout the country.

Of course, the huge print volume combined with customers all over Australia made it difficult for the two newspapers to transport newspapers.

As a result, the news of each newspaper is almost two days ago. Only when the news of the previous two days is published can there be enough time for printing and sales.

Coupled with the fact that there are already trains in some road sections, this is the real reason why these two newspapers can sell more than 15 copies a day throughout Australia.

This is also the shortcoming that all newspaper offices now basically have, because the transportation method is not very developed, which leads to the fact that if a newspaper office chooses to print the news of the day, it may take more than half a day for the printing time alone, not to mention the delivery of newspapers to various sales points and Time to sell.

It may be a new day, and news is old news, before newspapers are printed and sold.

Therefore, the vast majority of newspaper offices currently adopt the news of the day before or even a few days before printing, which can also give newspaper offices enough time to prepare.

It is precisely because of the underdeveloped technology at present that the dissemination of news and news is actually very slow, and even most people only receive news from the outside world through newspapers and hearsay.

It is precisely for this reason that newspapers can maintain such a high sales volume. Although the newspapers print the news of the previous few days, people will not easily know even such news.
