Fellow South Pacificans,

It is with a heavy heart that I appear before you to motion for a recall of Minister of Media Wizard Ferret due to dereliction of duty by the Minister, pursuant to my powers as a legislator according to Section XI(I) of the Charter of the Coalition of the South Pacific.

Despite a strong start to the term, Wizard Ferret has gone completely AWOL over the last couple of weeks, with their TSP nation not being logged in for 23 days now. Furthermore, their last visit to the forums was on April 4, while their last post in the regional Discord server was on April 1 in #mom-leadership, where they reassured me that they’ll return back to activity once they wrap up with their last week of university. As evidenced by the existence of this thread, this has not been the case. While I understand and support the decision to prioritize real life over NationStates, Wizard’s Ferret abrupt disappearance from the region while holding one of its highest and most demanding offices isn’t something we can simply turn a blind eye to.

The Ministry of Media has suffered due to their absence, with no new content being released for consumption since March 2 and the MoM journalists roaming around aimlessly for the better part of the term due to their inactivity. While I realize that I should’ve brought this to the Assembly’s attention sooner as the Prime Minister, my own tangles with real life left me unable to address this matter properly, along with other things. I apologize profusely for not acting on this as quickly as possible, it was a mistake.

It is always sad to see something promising crumble before our own eyes, like it has been the case with Wizard Ferret and MoM during this term. We hoped that Wizard would be the one to prove the doubters wrong and transform the struggling Ministry into something TSP can be proud of, and we did indeed see a flurry of activities that gave us an inkling of what they were capable of achieving, but in the end it wasn’t meant to be. This is an unfortunate yet necessary course of action and I hope that Wizard returns back to activity in TSP in the future, but at the end of the day their unsatisfactory performance as Minister of Media has necessitated this recall. Therefore, I ask the Chairperson to initiate the appropriate Assembly procedure required.

With tentative hopes for the future,
Moon,
Prime Minister.
