GOVERNMENT NEWS

This week we've plenty of government news.

First up there were nominations for both the position of Premier and for seats in the Senate. Sadly this saw uncontested elections as only one person nominated themselves for Premier while five nominated themselves for seats in the senate. We therefore congratulate Achkaerin on his inaugeration as Premier.

In the days following the new Premier taking office there was a re-jiggle of the cabinet with some new faces and some moving of positions.

This means the current government looks as follows.

Premier: Achkaerin
Vice Premier: DaveIronside
Attorney General: Achkaerin
Minister for Home and Cultural Affairs: Jeziel
Minister for Foreign Affairs: MikeRaven
Minister for Defence: DaveIronside
Officer of Accountability: Rhodes

Meanwhile the Senate is as follows:-
Senator: Achkaerin
Senator: Tytor
Senator: El Presidente
Senator: Zachpack11
Senator: Jeziel


While Dijel remains as Clerk of the Citizens Assembly.

Following unopposed elections Grand Chancellor Beatrice has announced an intention to work with the government in an attempt to find ways of increasing involvement for the next round of elections.
