CABINET
NEW CABINET ASSUMES OFFICE
The newly-elected Cabinet assumed office on June 22. Prime Minister Nakari posted a statement earlier today where they thanked the outgoing Cabinet for their work and introduced the incoming team, including the advisors that will comprise the junior membership. Standing out is the appointment of Amerion as Press Secretary, with the duty of ensuring that the Cabinet adheres to its transparency goals. In addition, former candidates Qaz and Rabbitz, and former minister Warrior, have been appointed advisors.

ELECTIONS
RABBITZ LEADS PUBLIC VOTE IN THE CHAIR ELECTION
Rabbitz, former candidate for Minister of Regional Affairs, leads, as of June 21, the public vote in the ongoing Chair of the Assembly election. Rabbitz is running on a platform of keeping and enhancing the policies of past Chairs, including vote graphs, attention to proper formatting and appointing a number of deputies and advisors. They are leading 22-13 against Royaltica, a newcomer running on a similar platform, with the notable addition of a proposal for a Legislators Academy. It is unclear how many private votes have been cast and whether they might alter the direction of the public vote.

ASSEMBLY
BILL WITHDRAWAL AMENDMENT MOTIONED AND SECONDED
Jay Coop's Bill Withdrawal Amendment has been motioned and seconded. The amendment, initially proposed earlier this month, would modify the Legislative Procedure Act to allow any legislator to motion the withdrawal of any at-vote bill, provided that no objections are made in the following 24 hours and that the Chair accepts the reasons provided for the motion. This amendment was prompted by an incident where the bill on the creation of a Minister of Home Affairs position was found to be defective after it had been brought to a vote, yet there was no clearly outlined mechanism to cancel a vote.

MISCELLANEOUS
DRUGGED MONKEYS RETURNS TO THE ASSEMBLY
Former Delegate Drugged Monkeys was sighted today at the South Pacific Interregional Seaport, where they were approved for legislator status by Commissioner Roavin and promptly fitted with a new, custom-made lampshade with a banana on top. Drugged Monkeys is a former Delegate and Prime Minister who also served as the inaugural Minister of the Army, now known as Minister of Military Affairs, and was a key member of the regional leadership during the Milograd Coup.
