Chapter 102: Knighthood (please subscribe!)
Based on the current per capita income in Australia, as long as you obtain any of the three medals, you can receive at least one hundred and twenty pounds per year.
This is higher than the income of most households in Australia. The average annual income of each household in Australia is only more than forty pounds, which is less than half of the basic income brought by a medal.
More importantly, this reward of ten times the per capita annual income is only the most basic reward for these three medals. The detailed conditions and reward system will be announced later.
What does this mean? Although the methods and rewards for obtaining the three medals will be different, they are definitely worth more than one hundred pounds per year.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can obtain any medal, you can ensure that you and your family have food and clothing for a lifetime, and even benefit the next generation.
This is what makes these three medals attractive. Judging from the reactions of the Australians in the audience, at least the vast majority of them expressed their excitement at the promulgation of these three medals.
In fact, this is also Arthur's purpose. Enhance Australians' pursuit of these three medals through award conditions that can impress the vast majority of people.
These three medals can only be obtained by those who are extremely patriotic and have made contributions to the country and the royal family.
Under such a premise, it is definitely possible to win over a considerable number of Australians to do something for this country and try to obtain this medal.
"The Victoria Memorial Medal and the Royal Knights Medal were awarded by me personally, and the Australian National Medal was awarded by the then Prime Minister. I hope that many Australians will receive these medals in the future, becoming a role model for the entire Australian nation and the pride of the Australian nation, country and royal family. A pillar of talent." Arthur said with a smile.
Since the specifications of these three medals need to be improved, it would be a good choice to let Arthur present the awards in person.
As the ruler of Australia, Arthur's status is supreme in Australia.
A medal personally awarded by the monarch of the country is definitely more valuable and commemorative than an ordinary medal.
Of course, doing so will also increase the value of the medal itself and the benefits it can bring.
"In addition, the Royal Relief Committee will also start relief work in the new year. The relief work last year achieved very good results. At least 800,000 low-income people received our relief food to ensure that they will not Be hungry at any time. I hope that in the new year, the scope of the work of the Royal Relief Committee can be expanded to the entire Australia and even the New Guinea colony. I wish all great Australians can live happily in this country, and everyone has nothing to worry about To endure hunger will be the goal that the royal family and the national government strive for!" Arthur said firmly.
What do ordinary people like to hear the most? Naturally, it is about their welfare policies, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Arthur's plan is simple, which is to use the large-scale construction in the country to provide jobs for most Australians and give them a good income.
At the same time, we provide relief to some special groups who are unable to work due to physical reasons, such as the elderly and orphans, as well as some disabled people.
The policies towards them can easily arouse the emotions of Australians. After all, these people often represent the lowest level of social living standards.
As long as these people can be guaranteed a normal life, doesn't it mean that every Australian can receive good relief when facing such a situation?
With the end of Arthur's speech, the day's National Day ceremony was officially over.
The next detailed instructions issued by the government for the three medals and the new round of rescue plan of the Royal Rescue Committee have nothing to do with Arthur. During this long-lost National Day holiday, Arthur was finally able to have a good rest.
The government acted quickly. Even during the stipulated National Day holiday, the detailed explanation of the three medals has been announced on the bulletin board of the Government Affairs Building, and will be accompanied by a new round of issuances of Victoria News and Australian Daily. Be known to more people.
Among the three newly promulgated medals, the Victoria Memorial Medal is a relatively special one.
The Victoria Memorial Medal is the most difficult to obtain. Although it is open to the world, it must have made a significant contribution to the reputation of the royal family and the monarch, or defended the royal family and the monarch from important crises.
Of course, its reward is also the most generous among the three medals. In addition to being rewarded with ten times Australia's per capita annual income for each medal, they can also receive the honorary title of Australian Knight, which is not inheritable.
Although it is different from the hereditary noble titles that own land, it is also the lowest kind of noble title. This title is still attractive to Australians.
In addition, the direct descendants of Victoria Memorial Medal winners can directly obtain the opportunity to enter university if they are of appropriate age, and can avoid the admissions process of national universities.
For Australia, where college students are relatively scarce, this is a relatively good condition.
After all, the national university enrollment attracts thousands of people to apply every year, but the number of final admissions is very small. Only 800 people are admitted in the first year, and even less in the second year, only more than 600 people.
Under such circumstances, the opportunity to enter university directly without admission requirements is quite attractive.
The other two medals are equally difficult to obtain and only require significant contributions to the royal family and the country.
In particular, the Australian National Medal is the most difficult medal to obtain, but it is also the medal with the lowest rewards.
As a medal personally awarded by the then Prime Minister, the Australian National Medal, in addition to financial rewards, also has a reward of publicity and encouragement within Australia, including but not limited to newspapers and announcements.
However, these conditions are still very attractive to Australians. After all, if it is a good thing, who wouldn't want to be famous throughout the country, especially if it is announced by the government and published in newspapers.
As long as you receive the Australian National Medal, you can be promoted as a hero of the country and the pride of the people. Think about it, how can it still make people feel a little excited?
Although the difficulty of obtaining the three medals disappointed some people, the generous reward funds and various benefits still made many people excited.
What can be expected is that in a short period of time in the future, there will definitely be a group of people who will try their best to obtain medals.
This situation is often what the government and Arthur want to see. After all, no matter how hard they try, the people who ultimately benefit the most are definitely the royal family and the government.
