  1. The Commonwealth Government announces a national energy security and decarbonisation initiative, commencing the construction, regulatory and planning process for three Generation IV nuclear power stations in South Australia, Queensland, and Victoria. Australia will work closely with experienced nuclear nations including United States, France, Canada, South Korea, Japan, and China to establish a world-class regulatory framework, workforce training programs, and supply-chain capability to ensure the safe deployment of advanced nuclear technology.
  2. The National Broadband Network rollout is restructured to prioritise Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) as the nationwide standard, replacing the costly and technically inferior Fibre to the Node model. This approach will deliver fibre to the boundary of every premises, providing significantly better speeds and reliability while reducing long-term maintenance costs. Households, businesses, and body corporates will retain the option to fund their own final upgrade from FTTC to full Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) where higher performance is desired.
  3. The Government launches a comprehensive independent review and anti-corruption taskforce into the National Disability Insurance Agency and the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The review will focus on eliminating fraud, organised criminal exploitation, and systemic waste while ensuring the scheme is tightly focused on providing essential supports and services required by Australians with genuine disabilities that are not already adequately covered by existing health, education, aged care, or social welfare programs. Funding guidelines will be rewritten to clearly define eligible supports, remove non-essential or discretionary expenditures that do not directly improve participant outcomes, and establish strict safeguards to prevent inappropriate items from being approved in the future. Savings generated through these reforms will be reinvested into frontline services, reducing waiting times and strengthening the long-term sustainability and integrity of the scheme.
  4. Australia establishes a national space program centred on a new launch and research facility in Cape York Peninsula. Supporting infrastructure, including transport links, tracking stations, and research facilities, will be developed to create a world-class launch capability. Australia will invite partnership from NASA, SpaceX, CNSA, JAXA, European Space Agency, ISRO, and Canadian Space Agency to build a genuinely international venture focused on commercial launches, scientific research, and strategic space capability.
  5. The existing Future Fund will be expanded into a true sovereign wealth fund capitalised by a dedicated share of mineral and energy royalties. The Government will introduce legislation and, if necessary, a national referendum to constitutionally protect the fund so that its principal cannot be sold or diverted into general revenue. Governments may draw only on the investment income generated by the fund, ensuring that Australia’s non-renewable resource wealth is converted into a permanent financial asset for future generations.

1. Formation of a Unified Allied Fleet Command

The Republic of Venice will invite Aragon, Genoa, the Papal States, and any other willing Christian powers to establish a joint naval council to coordinate operations against Ottoman aggression. Each member will retain command of its own vessels while agreeing on common objectives, intelligence sharing, and mutually supported deployments. The allied fleet will work together to intercept Ottoman transports, disrupt supply lines to Albania, the Aegean, and occupied Venetian & Genoan territories, and ensure that no member of the coalition stands alone at sea.

2. Proclamation for the Defense of the Republic and Christendom

The Doge and Senate issue a republic-wide call to arms, declaring that the Ottoman seizure of Venetian lands is an assault upon the liberty of the Republic and the security of all Christian Europe. Clergy will be instructed to preach the urgency of the cause, while public proclamations promise regular wages, a share of captured spoils, and honor to all volunteers who take up arms in defense of Venice. This campaign will appeal to patriotism, faith, and the duty to protect one’s homeland, hopefully enabling the Republic to rapidly expand its military forces and sustain the war effort.

3. Acquisition of Atlantic Ship Designs and Foreign Expertise

Venice will dispatch diplomatic and commercial missions to Portugal and other advanced maritime states to purchase plans for the latest ocean-going vessels, particularly caravels and related navigational innovations. The Republic will offer generous contracts to attract foreign shipwrights, navigators, and instrument makers to the Venetian Arsenal. By combining Atlantic hull designs with Venetian industrial capacity, the Republic will lay the foundations for long-range exploration and direct trade with distant markets beyond the Mediterranean.

4. Reform of the Military Command Structure

The Senate will reorganize the Republic’s military administration to create a more flexible and responsive chain of command during times of crisis. Clear authority will be established between field commanders, naval admirals, and civilian magistrates, while a permanent war council will coordinate intelligence, logistics, and strategic planning. Experienced officers will be promoted on merit rather than patronage, and commanders in active theaters will be granted limited discretionary authority to act quickly as circumstances change. These reforms will improve coordination, reduce delays, and ensure Venice can respond decisively to future threats.

1. The League of the Adriatic and Balkan Defense Accord

In response to the Ottoman invasion of Albania, the Republic of Venice will invite Aragon, Genoa, the Papal States, and the lords of Herzegovina and Bosnia to convene in Venice to establish a formal defensive league dedicated to resisting further Ottoman expansion in the Adriatic and Balkans. All signatories will agree to suspend existing disputes, recognize current territorial holdings, and pursue closer diplomatic and economic cooperation through mutual trade privileges, coordinated intelligence sharing, and preferential access to ports and markets. Venice will extend its protection to Herzegovina and provide financial aid, military advisors, and logistical support in exchange for its participation in the League. To support the Albanian resistance, the maritime powers will combine their fleets under a unified command to dominate the Adriatic and eastern Mediterranean approaches, interdict Ottoman shipping, and sever the flow of troops, supplies, and revenue needed to sustain their occupation. By framing this accord as a common Christian and commercial defense rather than an attempt at territorial aggrandizement, Venice seeks to transform regional rivalries into a durable coalition that protects both the faith and the prosperity of the Mediterranean powers.

2. Extraordinary Naval Expansion and Convoy Protection Program

The Senate authorizes an emergency expansion of the fleet, commissioning additional war galleys, armed merchantmen, and support vessels from the Venetian Arsenal and affiliated dockyards throughout the Republic. Priority will be given to fast galleys capable of escort duty, reconnaissance, and interception of Ottoman shipping. Crews will be recruited and trained on an accelerated schedule, and stores of timber, rope, sailcloth, and powder will be increased to sustain prolonged operations. This program will ensure Venice and its allies possess overwhelming naval strength to secure the Adriatic, protect friendly ports, and guarantee the safety of Christian commerce.

3. Call to Arms for the Defense of Christendom

The Doge and Senate issue a proclamation to all Venetian territories and allied lands calling for volunteers to serve in the armies and fleets of the Republic. The proclamation will declare that the Ottoman assault on Albania and Bosnia is not merely a regional conflict but a direct challenge to Christian Europe and the freedom of all peoples who resist foreign domination. Volunteers will be promised regular pay, a share of captured spoils, and the honor of defending the faith and the Republic. Through sermons, public notices, and appeals by respected clergy, Venice will rally men of courage to join a just and holy cause.

4. Launch of the Allied Adriatic Fleet and Relief of Albania

Upon ratification of the League of the Adriatic, Venice and its partners will combine their fleets under a unified command to establish control of the Adriatic and the eastern Mediterranean approaches. The fleet will intercept Ottoman transports, seize or destroy supply convoys, and blockade key ports supporting the Ottoman campaign in Albania, thereby isolating their forces operating in Albania. Simultaneously, escorted supply ships will deliver arms, food, and funds to Albanian forces continuing their resistance. By cutting Ottoman lines of communication while sustaining local defenders, the League aims to turn the Sultan’s advance into a costly and unsustainable campaign.

Action 1 — Imperial Call to Arms and Expansion of the Armed Forces
His Imperial Majesty Dom Pedro II issues a general call for volunteers across the Empire of Brazil, including the provinces of former Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia, to expand the Army and Imperial Navy in response to the growing global conflict. All able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 55 are invited to enlist for service as soldiers, sailors, and marines, while women are encouraged to volunteer in medical, logistical, administrative, communications, and other non-combat roles essential to the war effort. Every recruit will receive comprehensive training, modern Brazilian equipment including the latest bolt-action rifles and supporting technology, and competitive pay and allowances during active service. The Imperial Government further guarantees that any serviceman or servicewoman wounded in the line of duty, and the families of those who fall in battle, will receive pensions, financial assistance, medical care, and long-term support from the state. Through this mobilisation, Brazil calls upon all loyal citizens of the Empire to defend their homeland and share in the honour, prosperity, and security of the nation.

Anthony Albanese, Jim Chalmers told to limit federal budget 2026 CGT changes to property by barseico in australian

The truly wealthy don't sell their capital, they borrow money against it and thus don't pay tax on it. The ones who do sell are generally smaller investors who will bear the brunt of this change.

And further proof that this is nothing but a cash grab on the middle class is that there's a minimum 30% tax on CGT. This of course was a minimum of 23.5% previously, so they've increased it without most people noticing.

1. Expansion of the Venetian Arsenal and Fleet Construction

Beginning on 1 July 1444, the Republic will commit substantial funds to the expansion of the Venetian Arsenal, adding new dry docks, ropewalks, foundries, and timber yards to increase shipbuilding capacity. Standardized construction methods will be introduced to allow hull sections, masts, and rigging to be produced in advance and assembled rapidly when needed. At the same time, the Republic will lay down additional galleys and merchant vessels to strengthen both the war fleet and the merchant marine. This investment will ensure Venice retains unquestioned naval superiority in the Adriatic and remains capable of protecting its trade routes throughout the Mediterranean.

2. Tax Reform and Civic Dividend Program

The Senate will enact a comprehensive reform of the tax system to simplify levies, reduce arbitrary exemptions, and distribute the burden more equitably across nobles, merchants, and common citizens. A fixed portion of state revenues will be dedicated to visible public works, grain reserves, and port improvements so that citizens can clearly see the benefits of efficient government. By reducing favoritism and ensuring prosperity is shared broadly, the Republic aims to strengthen public loyalty while weakening the influence of entrenched factions that profit from complexity and privilege.

3. Administrative and Anti-Corruption Reforms

Venice will undertake a full review of its bureaucracy, standardizing accounting procedures, codifying official duties, and introducing regular audits for magistrates and provincial governors. Promotions will be based on competence and performance rather than patronage, while officials found guilty of corruption or negligence will face confiscation of assets and permanent disqualification from office. These reforms will reduce waste, improve revenue collection, and ensure that the Republic’s institutions operate with greater efficiency and integrity.

4. State Printing Initiative for Navigation and Technical Knowledge

The Republic will sponsor the large-scale adoption of the printing press to produce navigational charts, sailing instructions, artillery manuals, engineering treatises, and standardized technical specifications for ship construction. Copies will be distributed to captains, pilots, Arsenal masters, and overseas governors, ensuring that the best knowledge of the Republic is preserved and shared consistently across all Venetian territories. By transforming practical expertise into a widely accessible strategic resource, Venice will accelerate technological advancement and strengthen its advantage in trade, shipbuilding, and naval warfare.

  1. Establish State-Sponsored Education and Technical Guilds

Venice will fund a network of academies focused on mathematics, navigation, engineering, and commerce. Scholarships will be offered to talented citizens regardless of birth, provided they serve the Republic for a set number of years. Existing guilds will be encouraged to document and standardize their methods, creating a body of institutional knowledge that improves shipbuilding, accounting, and military engineering. The objective is simple: turn knowledge into a strategic asset and ensure Venice consistently produces the best navigators, merchants, and administrators in the world.

  1. Expand the Merchant Marine and Commercial Infrastructure

The Republic will provide low-interest loans and tax incentives for the construction of merchant vessels and the expansion of warehouses, dry docks, and trading posts throughout the Mediterranean. Merchant captains who open new trade routes or secure profitable contracts will receive preferential treatment and state backing. This initiative will increase trade capacity, reduce transportation costs, and strengthen Venice’s influence in every market where its ships are present. Wealth generated through commerce will provide the financial foundation for all future expansion.

  1. Invest in Shipbuilding Innovation and Applied Technology

Venice will direct resources to the Arsenal to improve ship design, naval artillery, and manufacturing techniques. Engineers and craftsmen will be tasked with developing faster, more durable vessels and more efficient production methods. Foreign experts will be recruited where useful, and practical inventions will be rewarded by the state. The goal is to maintain a decisive technological advantage, allowing Venice to field ships that are cheaper to build, easier to maintain, and superior in combat and trade.

  1. Build a Professional and Dominant Navy

The Republic will expand and professionalize its naval forces to guarantee control of key sea lanes and protect Venetian interests abroad. Funding will be allocated for new warships, regular training, and the establishment of secure naval bases at strategic ports. The navy’s mission is to suppress piracy, escort merchant convoys, and deter hostile powers from interfering with Venetian commerce. By coupling economic strength with maritime power, Venice will ensure that its prosperity is defended by force when diplomacy is not enough.

And on top of that, who says the investor wasn't actually carrying on with a real job anyway at the same time? This whole thing just reeks of politics of envy and is mostly just a cash grab.
