Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on September 12, 2024, 05:51:13 PMIf you go forward with this bill, this part should probably be removed. There's no provision in the law requiring that the Government keep its prior internal communications private. We have extensive privacy laws, and the law specifically identifies the only things that should remain private (ie, anything covered by Lexh.D.8.3-5).

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on September 12, 2024, 05:16:31 PMIf I might jump in in front of my Ministers here: as I've said elsewhere, the Government is fully in favour of expanding the Civil Service and providing backup in case officials go AWOL. The only question is being *able* to recruit to such provisions. The problem with legislatively establishing Deputies is that it doesn't amount of a hill of beans if there's no-one available. As we've found out with PermSec Immigration.
So instead of legislating, in the first place, let's simply ask the Royal Archivist to appoint a Deputy.
Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 12, 2024, 12:50:07 PMWe would like to take a moment to thank government ministers for their timely and, with one concerning exception, respectful and lawful responses to Opposition enquiries. We have observed progress on several items on which there is agreement between Open Society and the Government. But a lawsuit has arisen out of one exchange and we will explore an additional concern next month.
This is how Talossa politics should work. An active and accountable Government, and an active and vigorous Opposition working in cooperation to ensure good service to the Talossan people.
Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN on September 12, 2024, 04:12:02 PMIf I may, est. Túischac'h:
- the Member is using Terpelaziuns "tactically". He has set out to ask every member of Cabinet a TERP to attempt to exert political pressure, regardless of whether this is appropriate or even sensible. Consequently, he has tried to ask this question of the Distáin, when the Distáin is the Deputy in the office of the Prime Ministry, and this question should have been directed to the Seneschál, i.e. me. We should not be surprised by this, because the Member has a history of bullying the Distáin, and it is to be hoped that the Distáin doesn't start getting nasty WhatsApp messages again.
Anyway, the Member is fully aware that I have previously answered both his questions, and I will repeat these answers below:
1) that, while a non-political Permanent Secretary of Immigration would be ideal, and we looked for one, we found no takers. We asked the previous Minister of Immigration to stay on in a non-political capacity; he turned us down. In desperation, I personally took on Immigration, and since I've found it's not as hard as I thought it would be, I've stuck with it. Applications for the position of PermSec Immigration are always open to those enthusiastic about doing donkey work, and not personally unpleasant.
2) the Member's "Single Transferable Obsession" with the SoS is irrelevant to the question of increasing the scope of the civil service, since the SoS is a civil servant and has no role in the elected Ziu or in the Government, as it should be.
Finally: the Government is discussing further points on the issue of expanding the Civil Service and we hope to announce further initiatives down the track.

I'm altering German road signs, though I will add as much Talossanity as possible to them, of course some signs will stay similar but be refreshed).Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on September 12, 2024, 01:27:34 PMQuote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 12, 2024, 09:10:20 AMOf course when I have the time.Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on September 12, 2024, 04:58:22 AMQuote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 12, 2024, 04:28:36 AMI'll try my best to publish some news to my channel.Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on September 12, 2024, 02:43:58 AMQuote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on September 11, 2024, 08:19:20 PMbarclamiu you have Talossa24 which could use some support.(It didn't mention me.)
Any support would be appreciated, however, I can't take any money (I'm not old enough to have a PayPal account yet.)
Ah ok, understood about PayPal. But Talossa 24 has been about as active as Fora Talossa unfortunately. Hopefully we can get some active news sources to cover this Government's actions.
Please do Barclamïu. Any news. Right now Talossa24 is a TalossaWiki announcement and a death announcement. I'm genuinely excited to see what you decide to produce but I hope there is something in the future.
You've done a great job with the transportation signage.
