There are two days remaining for the debating period of the current bill. Despite commending the Government's bill to the chamber I don't myself personally have a preference as to what we name the capital, just as long as it is renamed from its current name. Therefore I have nothing further to contribute to this matter until we reach the voting period.
However I would like to advise His Majesty and the Senate that there has been a slight reshuffle in the Second Heerlo Ministry. The Honourable Howard Stephenson is no longer able to carry out his duties as Minister of Defence and Science, so these portfolios have been reallocated to other ministers.
Here is what the first configuration of the Second Heerlo Ministry looked like prior to the reshuffle:
Minister
|
Party
|
City
|
Portfolio
|
In office
Senator the Honourable Heerlo|Pulian Advancement Union|Haven of Peace|Prime Minister of Pulias|1822
Senator the Honourable William Melda|Pulias People's Party (party president)|Haven of Peace|Deputy Prime Minister of Pulias, Minister of Culture|1822
Senator the Honourable Ernest Barnard|Pulian Advancement Union (leader)|Pulias|Minister of Infrastructure, Minister of Economy|1822
Senator the Honourable Gustavus Gurra|Pulias People's Party (party secretary)|Pulias|Minister of Foreign Relations, Minister of Intelligence, Minister of Construction|1822
The Honourable Howard Stevenson|Pulian Advancement Union|Pulias|Minister of Defence, Minister of Science|1822
The Prime Minister, Senator the Honourable Heerlo has gained the responsibilities of the Defence Ministry, and the Leader of the Pulian Advancement Union, Senator the Honourable Ernest Barnard has gained the responsibilities of the Science Ministry. The ministers will present to His Majesty to be sworn in at the earliest possible opportunity.
So after the reshuffle the second configuration of the Second Heerlo Ministry is as per below:
Minister

Senator the Honourable Heerlo|Pulian Advancement Union|Haven of Peace|Prime Minister of Pulias, Minister of Defence|1822–now
