Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 11:22:59 PMI am grateful to the Leader of the Opposition and Green Party leader for his questions, and I look forward to providing more information in the future.

I appreciate the information from the Seneschal. And pray the Culture Minister will oblige me directly in the future.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 10:28:13 PMNo, I don't have any further details to provide.  It's a formidable task.

Yes, a formidable task one would imagine the Government might have something to report on within the past three months.

If we had already accomplished all of our goals, then it would probably mean we hadn't been ambitious enough.  Hopefully we'll have something to report soon.

Fortunately, we've gotten quite a bit done this term.  I mean, we've revamped the entire immigration system.  It previously had a pretty significant security vulnerability, where anyone with edit access to the website could see the personal info of hundreds of prospective and current citizens.  We eliminated that, while at the same time moving everything to a tracking system that's very easy to understand (just forms and spreadsheets!), easy to maintain, and easy to closely track data.

We've also been promoting things for the first time with videos and a lot of targeted discussions to niche communities, and running an experiment to see if that made a difference.  It does!  And we also have created a public listing of government offices, contact information, and important decisions that is easily-accessible and centralized.  And more!

Mr. Speaker, I commend the Seneschal on reporting on the good things created but unrelated to the specific initiative at hand. I look forward, perhaps before the end of the term, to receiving news of progress on the admittedly formidable but apparently unrealized project undertaken by the Culture Ministry.

Wittenberg / Random Vexillological Interest
Last post by Breneir Tzaracomprada - Yesterday at 09:04:23 PM
I had first planned to post this in the Royal Academy of Vexillology thread but it has not had any posts since 2024.

The unfortunate and sudden passing of Sam Neill revived a really interesting and simple contribution he made to the Australian Flag Debate. While starring in the 1997 horror film (Event Horizon), which is a great movie, Neill asked for a futuristic representation (2047) of Australia's flag to show the Australian Aboriginal flag in the canton rather than the Union Jack.

Here is what it looked like and I think it is quite lovely:


@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be I believe you are the provost of the RAV, have you seen this flag before?

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on Yesterday at 05:40:30 PMI'll be happy to step in and answer, per the law: We're working on it.

Mr. Speaker, this line of enquiry is a follow-up on a previous answer which referred to personal issues as the reason behind no progress being reported on the project since May.

If the Prime Minister has any details to provide the Ziu beyond "we're working on it" they would be welcome.

@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, UrGP
Mr. Speaker, under the terms of Lex H.1.2.2:

Quote1.2.2 Once a Terpelaziun is submitted by a Member of the Cosă or Senator in accordance with the provisions of this article, it shall be answered by the questioned Minister within seven days...

It appears that the deadline has just passed for a reply by the Culture Minister @Françal I. Lux
