PRESS RELEASE

Cabinet Update, 11/21/2021

21 November 2021

Fellow South Pacificans,

The Cabinet has begun to hit its stride in this portion of the term. With our term one-quarter of the way over, the "set up" portion of the term is concluding and the portion of the term where serious work can be accomplished and projects can be rolled out is beginning. Since the last Cabinet update, I have appointed @Jay Coop as OWL Director, once again hoping for meaningful reform to OWL, and he has had a productive past two weeks, rolling out unprecedented new efforts to revamp OWL in his first week in office and bringing us some of OWL's first published recommendations in almost two months. In addition, normal activity has hummed along in the each of our Ministries. Sadly, the Cabinet will be losing Minister of Defense @Witchcraft and Sorcery as they step back to prioritize their real life and mental health.

This time period also saw some turnover in the Cabinet's staff. Cabinet Advisor @Nakari has resigned by mutual agreement due to the introduction of a conflict of interest after her election as Delegate of The Rejected Realms. The Cabinet wishes Delegate Nakari and our allies in The Rejected Realms the best of luck in the upcoming term. To supplement the Cabinet's staff, I am happy to announce @Purple Hyacinth will be joining us as a Cabinet Advisor for the remainder of the term. Purple Hyacinth brings with her a history of strong activity in TSP, with her work as Chair demonstrating administrative excellence and a strong history of work and experience in the Ministries of Culture and Engagement and the Office of WA Legislation, hitting on many of the areas where we are currently in the process of needing deep reforms and new energy to our existing programs and processes. While Purple Hyacinth became inactive at one point and was recalled as Chair, Hya has demonstrated a desire to return to regular activity in TSP recently and Cabinet Advisor is an ideal position for her to contribute to ongoing projects and gain greater experience working in executive government.
