Chapter 102: The Title of Knight (Please Subscribe!)
According to the current per capita income in Australia, as long as you get any of the three medals, you can receive at least 120 pounds of funds every year.
This is higher than the income of most Australian families. The average annual income of each household in Australia is only more than 40 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 of these three medals. The detailed conditions for obtaining and the reward system will be announced later.
What does this mean? Although the way to obtain and the rewards of the three medals will be different, it is definitely more than more than 100 pounds per year.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can get any medal, you can guarantee that you and your family will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and even bless the next generation.
This is also the attraction of these three medals. According to the reactions of the Australians in the audience, at least most people are moved by the issuance of these three medals.
In fact, this is also Arthur's purpose. Through the reward conditions that can impress most people, Australians' pursuit of these three medals will be enhanced.
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 this premise, it is absolutely possible to attract a considerable number of Australians to do something for the country and try to obtain this medal.
"The Victorian Medal and the Royal Knight Medal are awarded by me personally, and the Australian National Medal is awarded by the then Prime Minister. I hope that many Australians will receive these medals in the future and become role models for the entire Australian nation, the pride of the Australian nation, and the pillars of the country and the royal family." Arthur said with a smile.
Since the specifications of these three medals are to be improved, it is 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 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 that the medal can bring.
"In addition, the Royal Relief Committee will also start the relief work in the new year. The relief work in the previous year has achieved very good results. At least 800,000 low-income people have received our relief food to ensure that they will not go hungry at any time. I hope that in the new year, the scope of the Royal Relief Committee's work can be expanded to the whole of Australia and even the colony of New Guinea. I wish all great Australians can live happily in this country, and no one has to worry about starvation. This will be the goal that the royal family and the national government strive for!" Arthur said firmly.
What do ordinary people like to hear most? Naturally, it is about their welfare policies, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Arthur's plan is very simple, which is to use large-scale construction in the country to provide jobs for most Australians and let them have a good income.
At the same time, some special groups who cannot work due to physical reasons, such as lonely elderly people and orphans, as well as some disabled people, can be relieved.
The policy towards them can easily arouse the emotions of Australians. After all, these people often represent the bottom of the social living standard.
As long as the normal life of these people can be guaranteed, doesn't it mean that any Australian can be guaranteed to get good relief when facing such a situation?
With the end of Arthur's speech, the National Day ceremony of the day was officially over.
The specific instructions for the three medals issued by the government and the new round of rescue plans of the Royal Rescue Committee had nothing to do with Arthur.
During this long-awaited National Day holiday, Arthur was finally able to have a good rest.
The government acted quickly. Even during the stipulated National Day holiday, the specific explanations of the three medals had been published in the bulletin board of the government building, and would be accompanied by a new round of issuance of Victoria Newspaper and Australian Daily, so that more people would know about it.
Among the three newly issued medals, the Victoria Memorial Medal is a relatively special existence.
The Victoria Memorial Medal is the most difficult to obtain. Although it is open to the world, it must make a significant contribution to the reputation of the royal family and the monarch, or defend the important crisis of the royal family and the monarch to obtain it.
Of course, its reward is also the most generous of the three medals. In addition to the reward of ten times the annual per capita income of Australia for each medal, you can also get the honorary title of Australian Sir, which cannot be inherited.
Although it is different from the hereditary noble titles of those who own land, it is also the lowest type of noble title, and this title is still attractive to Australians.
In addition, the direct descendants of the winners of the Victorian Medal can directly get the opportunity to enter the university when they are of the right age, and can be exempted from the national university enrollment process.
For Australia, where college students are relatively scarce now, this is also a relatively good condition.
After all, the national university enrollment attracts thousands of applicants every year, but the number of people finally admitted is very small, with only 800 in the first year and even fewer in the second year, with only more than 600.
In this case, an opportunity to exempt from the enrollment conditions and directly enter the university is still quite attractive.
The difficulty of obtaining the other two medals is similar, and you only need to make significant contributions to the royal family and the country.
Especially the Order of Australia, which is the easiest medal to obtain, but also the medal with the lowest reward.
As a medal awarded by the then Prime Minister himself, the Order of Australia, in addition to the financial reward, 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, when it is a good thing, who would not want to be famous throughout the country, especially when the government announces it and publishes it in newspapers.
As long as you get the Order of Australia, you can be promoted as a hero of the country and the pride of the people. Why do people feel a little excited when they think about it?
Although the difficulty of obtaining the three medals makes some people quite disappointed, the generous reward funds and various treatments still make many people excited.
It can be expected that in the short term in the future, there will definitely be a group of people who try their best to get the medal.
This situation is often what the government and Arthur want to see. After all, no matter how hard they try, the people who will get the biggest benefits in the end are definitely the royal family and the government.
