Rise of Australia

Chapter 23 The Cabinet Government
The Australian State Administration Building, June 1900, 6.

It was Arthur's third day back from the Isle of Wight and the day of the planned final election for a Cabinet government.

This is an extremely important day for Australia.Australia is about to have its first official cabinet government, and Australia's reform from a colony to a dukedom will also usher in a phased success.

For Arthur, this is also a very important day.After determining the official members of the cabinet government, you can start to build a full government, formulate plans for Australia's next development and put them into action.

At eight o'clock in the morning, most of the congressmen had already arrived at the gate of the government affairs building, waiting quietly for the gate to open.

For the lucky ones who were elected as candidates in the parliament, this day is definitely worth looking forward to.

Once they continue to maintain good luck and succeed in the next voting, then they will really reach the top of the Australian political arena in one step.

Even those councilors who failed in the first round of voting were looking forward to it.

Although they are not eligible to run for election this time, they will be able to boast to the public in the future that they voted for this cabinet government with one vote.

With the crisp sound of the wooden door of the government affairs building, this century-old building is about to start its day's work.

This time there were no guards to lead the way, but these congressmen were already familiar with the road, and walked lightly to the conference room on the top floor.

There are already some officials working in this government building, but because the government's core cabinet has not yet been formally appointed, the current government's responsibility is only to maintain law and order and stability, and there are not many development plans.

As all the congressmen were seated, Arthur also walked in under the escort of several guards and sat in the most central position.

"Everyone, I know you are all looking forward to the official members of the cabinet government, and I am also looking forward to it. Now, let's officially start the election of cabinet members." Arthur looked around and found that everyone's faces had some After anticipation and excitement, he said with a smile.

"You now have a list of cabinet positions in your hands. Fill in the name of the most suitable candidate you think is behind each position. After filling them all, just hand the list to the guards around you." Ah Ser explained the rules.

"But I have to remind you that the election of the cabinet is very important to Australia. I hope you can follow your heart instead of following your interests." After Arthur warned for the last time, the cabinet vote officially began.

In order to prevent unexpected situations, Arthur chose to continue to supervise on the spot, instead of leaving some members of parliament private space as in the first meeting.

This also made some congressmen who originally wanted to exchange ideas instantly dismiss their thoughts, frowning bitterly and looking at the list on their desks.

Because of the fact that Australia was just established, the Australian political arena is far less chaotic than those in European countries.

This has also led to elections in Australia, most of which are very pure, based on their own inner thoughts, rather than being swayed by the outside world.

But this is also the most difficult for some congressmen, because they are ordinary people, when they face such a relatively important choice, they often lose their judgment due to nervousness, or fall into confusion.

But for most of the congressmen, they had already decided who they wanted to support long before today, and now they naturally wrote the list on the table very quickly.

The first round of voting rules is that you cannot fill in your own name, while the second round of voting rules is based on the addition of the rule that candidates cannot fill in their own names.

This rule is actually to avoid confusion in voting. After all, if you can support yourself when you are not familiar with each other, I believe that a large number of people will choose this option.

About half an hour later, Arthur looked at the people who had basically stopped writing, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's been half an hour, I believe everyone has almost filled it out. I will give you In the last few minutes, if you check that the list you filled out is correct, you can hand it over to the guards. It will take a long time to count the data, and we have to determine the final candidate for the cabinet before noon."

Seeing what Arthur said, some councilors who hadn't decided on their candidates hurriedly began to write quickly, regardless of other things, they chose the candidate they looked more pleasing to the eye and wrote it.

A few minutes passed, and the guards began to collect the list next to each other.

The following statistical process is relatively simple, but also more troublesome.The guards need to count the people with the highest number of votes for each position, and then announce it, which is the final candidate for the cabinet position.

Australia has preset ten departments including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of People's Livelihood, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Agriculture. There are a total of 190 candidates and [-] eight votes people.

After more than an hour of hard counting, the guards finally counted the final results and handed them over to Arthur.

Arthur was a little surprised by this list. There were not only many acquaintances' names, but also several unfamiliar names. Even before this, Arthur had never heard of this name.

This does mean that the election is very random this time, and it does not mean that you can be successfully elected if you are in a high position or have a reputation in the political arena.

Holding the list, Arthur didn't keep a secret, and announced: "Everyone, it's time to announce the list. The winner of the Minister of Agriculture of the Australian Cabinet Government is--Henry Creeter!"

That's right, it was the Henry who had chatted with Arthur.Arthur was also a little surprised when he saw this name.

Unexpectedly, this small official of the city government was able to break through the siege all the way, not only entered the House of Commons, but was also successfully elected as the Minister of Agriculture in the first cabinet government.

"Pierre Silvio Berlusconi is the Minister of Industry in the Australian Cabinet Government!" Arthur continued to announce.

Pierre Silvio Berlusconi is the governor of Western Australia, and he is considered one of the most prestigious people in Australia.

Arthur is also relieved that he will be the Minister of Industry, which is relatively important to Australia.

"Secretary of Transportation is Conlette Diano."

This is also a familiar name, and he was the first man to chat with Arthur in the State House.
