Kelly Ministry

The Kelly Ministry, founded on 7th August 2021, is the first and incumbent government of Australia. The ministry was formed following the first Australian federal election, in which the Alpha Coalition obtained a majority in the House of Representatives. On 11th August 2021, following the second Australian federal election, the Alpha Coalition sustained its majority.

The Kelly Ministry has shown a commitment to safeguarding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. On 9th August 2021, in an attempt to enshrine the declaration into law, the government introduced the Human Rights Bill 2021 into the House of Representatives. However, due to resistance from the opposition, the bill failed to pass the house; in what some regarded to be a "seemingly deliberate attempt to obstruct the progress of [a] simple, reasonable and necessary human rights bill."

Green New Deal
On 12th August 2021, the Minister for the Environment, Mark Rutte, issued a green paper relating to the government's proposals for fighting climate change. The proposals outlined the government's aspirations for a 'Green New Deal', which would: employ 5000 new park rangers, establish 7000 miles of newly protected forest, electrify Australia's railway by 2045 and add new railway services to encourage the end of motor vehicle reliance, provide $700 billion by 2027 for electric vehicle subsidiaries and reduce coal production. It is believed that the government will present a number of bills to the House of Representatives enacting these aspirations within the foreseeable future.
