Rise of Australia

Chapter 24 Cabinet Members
"Medical Minister is Bradford Dillman," Arthur went on to announce.

This is a relatively unfamiliar name, neither a government official nor a senior politician, but a civilian from an ordinary family.

The reason why he was elected as the Minister of Health is also very simple. He is a rare top student who graduated from a famous European medical school, and he is also a famous doctor in New South Wales.

Among the more than 300 million people in Australia, more than half are gold diggers attracted by gold mines and gold rushes, and less than one-third are talents attracted by major colonies.

In such a general environment, it is not surprising that a talent like Bradford Dillman, who has an extremely high level of knowledge in a certain aspect, is reused.

"Minister of Education is Richard Noble Chapman," Arthur went on to announce.

Richard Noble Chapman is the Premier of Tasmania and the least powerful of the six Premiers.

Compared with other states, Tasmania, with a population of just over 7, is really uncompetitive. Even if Arthur has already taken care of Tasmania in the allocation of seats in the House of Commons, Tasmania will not Gained seven House of Commons seats.

But Richard Noble Chapman did one thing very well. Knowing that it was impossible to compete with other colonies in terms of economy, Richard Noble Chapman did a pretty good job. The correct decision is to run schools and develop education.

Coupled with the natural advantages brought by the small population, Tasmania's population literacy rate has reached a terrifying 80.00%, and the population of primary school graduates accounts for 70.00% of the total population. It is the best educational condition among the six states in Australia.

Let him serve as the Minister of Education, because the members of Congress have taken a fancy to his ability and experience in developing education,

Soon, Arthur announced the list of all cabinet members.

Among them, the Minister of Public Security was appointed by the original South Australian Governor Thomas Cech. This is because of his own prestige and advantages. Needless to say, he was elected successfully.

The Foreign Minister is Queensland Premier Andrew King Porter, as is Governor Thomas Cech, needless to say.

The Minister for People's Livelihood is Victorian Premier Walter Blake.Walter Blake has developed people's livelihood well in Victoria, and has a good reputation in Australia. It is only natural that he can be elected as the Minister of People's Livelihood.

The posts of Defense and Treasury were held by Kent Crawford Rollan and Roger Joseph Ebert respectively.

Kent Clover Lawrence is the son of Hunt's steward, a graduate of the British Military Academy.

With him as the Minister of Defense, Arthur is very relieved.

And Roger Joseph Ebert was a talent left to Arthur by Duke Arthur.Roger and Hunter are in charge of managing all of Duke Arthur's property, including the factory property Roger is in charge of and the castle is in charge of Hunter.

The factories left by Duke Arthur can develop to the current scale, and Roger is absolutely indispensable.

Both of them followed Arthur to Australia from the very beginning, and changed their nationality to Australia in the first place, so that they could participate in the election of the House of Commons and succeeded.

The most important post of Prime Minister was won by Governor Evan.

Governor Evan is the person with the most say in the case of Australia's original colony, and he is also the leader among several governors.

Letting him serve as the most important prime minister position in the cabinet government will not only satisfy the original colonial forces, but also stabilize the situation in Australia.

Of course, Arthur won't suffer a loss by doing this, and he can also gain the favor of several governors.

After all, from the very beginning, Arthur had greatly weakened the power of the cabinet government, and the power of the prime minister had also been greatly reduced.

The current cabinet government has only executive power and is also supervised by the House of Lords and Arthur.

The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Defense, which have the most power in the cabinet government, are also in the hands of Aser. Under such circumstances, no one who controls that government will be able to form enough resistance to Arthur. The cabinet government is only Arthur’s indirect Tool to rule Australia.

"Okay, these are all the members of the cabinet government. Let us congratulate them on their election and the official formation of the cabinet!" Arthur said to everyone with a smile after announcing all the lists.

clap clap!

In an instant, there was warm applause in the conference room, and those who were successfully selected showed joyful and excited smiles.

Australia's cabinet is different from other monarchy cabinets. Take the cabinet government of the British Empire as an example. After the prime minister is elected, the prime minister will form all the cabinets by himself.

It also means that the selection of cabinet members can be decided by the prime minister.Although the term of office of such cabinet members is basically the same as that of the prime minister, such a cabinet also has an obvious advantage, that is, all cabinet members are united under the leadership of the prime minister, and the government can work better.

But Australia does not need this. All cabinet members are elected by the House of Commons, not appointed by the Prime Minister.

The advantage of this is that it greatly disperses the unity of the cabinet and turns the cabinet into Arthur's ruling tool, rather than a power organization comparable to Arthur.

"After becoming a member of the cabinet, all other positions should be automatically dismissed. If you hold other positions, you should submit a letter of resignation to the original agency within a week. The governors of each state will temporarily serve for a period of time, and wait for the elections of the state houses of the states. After deciding on a new governor, you will automatically lose the governorship." Arthur said with a smile.

The position of the cabinet government is definitely greater than all other positions, and Arthur will not allow officials to hold important positions in the states while holding important positions in the cabinet.

In this case, there will be no skill at all, and it will not be possible to perform the duties of each position well.Secondly, the rights of individuals are too great. Although they will not pose a threat to Arthur's rights, they can easily form political groups and breed troubles.

"Yes."

The governors of the states have actually been prepared for a long time. Compared with the powerful cabinet members, although the position of the governor seems to be equally powerful, it is actually controlled by Arthur, the government, the upper and lower parliaments, and even the state assembly. Rights have been narrowed again and again.

Under such circumstances, people with discerning eyes know which position to choose, and it is not such a pity to give up relatively unimportant positions.

"Okay, that's the end of the meeting of the House of Commons. The election of the government has come to an end, and the current task of all members is to investigate the current situation in Australia and fill the legal vacancies in the Australian Constitution." Arthur said with a smile: "All The cabinet members will start taking office in the afternoon. Your first task is to find out the departments in charge of each of you and the relevant situation, and we will hold a cabinet meeting in a week."
