As the so-called full of warmth and lust, people will have enough energy to live their private lives after they have enough funds. Correspondingly, there are more and more newborns.

This is also a good thing for Australia, and the proportion of native Australians is extremely important, and these people are the foundation of Australian rule.

Aside from immigrants assimilating into the Australian nation, the only way Australians can expand is through fertility.

Immigration on the British side is the result of Australia's efforts in the UK. Originally, Arthur's reputation in Britain was not low, and a large number of British people had a very good impression of Arthur.

This is also the reason for the success of Australia's immigration agitation in the UK, and people naturally have an extra choice when they want to immigrate without rejecting Arthur.

The reason why Germany was able to surpass the British Empire was largely due to Wilhelm II's policy of courting Australia.

Since the entry into force of the aid treaty between the German Empire and Australia, more than 100,000 Germans have immigrated to Australia and become permanent residents of Australia.

Of course, the vast majority of these people have acquired Australian citizenship and have nominally become a real Australian.

But no one can guarantee that they will be more loyal to Australia than the German Empire. This was also the intention and purpose of Wilhelm II.

These Germans, who emigrated to Australia, will do everything they can to change Australia's political decisions and pull Australia into the German chariot.

"Yes, population has always been one of Australia's biggest issues, and whether it's encouraging fertility internally or attracting immigrants externally, it's one of the most important decisions we make at any time. However, it is important to attract immigrants, and it is also necessary to assess and test these immigrants for a certain period of time. Only by ensuring that these people have no other purpose can they truly obtain our Australian citizenship. Arthur nodded with a slight smile and said with great satisfaction.

Population is one of the criteria for measuring whether a country is strong or not, and the population of any major power country is as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Although Australia has a great power size, the size of its population is a huge problem.

Such a population is simply not enough to sustain Australia as a powerful nation, let alone rise as a great power.

Therefore, Australia must raise its population to more than 10 million in order to have a chance to compete with the great powers.

"In addition, while the massive population growth is welcome, we should not forget the welfare policies for low-income people. How are our nursing homes and orphanages built? How many lonely elderly people and orphans have been relieved so far? Arthur asked.

"Your Highness, the number of nursing homes and orphanages in our country has initially met the needs of the country. New South Wales and Victoria, in particular, the two most populous states, already have eleven and seven nursing homes, respectively. Across Australia, we have 30 nursing homes and 51 orphanages, housing more than 6,000 elderly people and more than 10,000 orphans. With a steady increase in population, it is foreseeable that the number of orphanages and nursing homes will not grow too much, and will basically stabilize within this range. The Minister of People's Livelihood, Walter Braque, quickly stood up and replied.

It's not that Minister of Livelihood Walter is unwilling to continue to build orphanages and nursing homes. However, according to the size of Australia's population, the current number of orphanages and nursing homes is close to saturation, and most of the lonely elderly and orphans have been taken in and accommodated, and only a few have not been helped.

Orphans, in particular, are one of Arthur's most important issues. Because these orphans will be very loyal to the royal family and Arthur in the future after receiving alms.

In particular, some of these orphans often have special talents, and they will even be directly taken in by the royal family, cultivated, and become Arthur's right-hand man in the future.

These orphans, who had been cultivated since childhood, were even more loyal than some of the talents inherited from Duke Arthur.

"Well, since the number of nursing homes and orphanages is close to saturation, the progress of these two constructions can be suspended, and the Ministry of Livelihood can focus on the implementation of the welfare of existing nursing homes and orphanages." Arthur nodded, agreeing to Minister Walter's proposal.

Instructed Minister Walter, Arthur looked at Prime Minister Evan again and motioned to continue.

"In addition to nursing homes and orphanages, the construction of our schools and hospitals is also very satisfactory. A year ago, we just built one big hospital in every state. We now have two hospitals in New South Wales and Victoria, and other states and territories are encouraging the opening of private clinics. Currently, there are more than 100 private clinics established across Australia, which are located in many cities across Australia and are able to improve our healthcare at the lowest level. Prime Minister Evan said with a smile.

The construction of large hospitals has been very slow, and there are only eight hospitals in the whole of Australia so far.

However, the number of small private clinics is satisfactory, and they are an effective way to improve Australia's most basic medical environment compared to large hospitals that are less staffed and ill-equipped.

"What about schools? What is the current state of our education? I remember that there was an idea of opening a technical school before, did the Ministry of Education do anything about it? Arthur asked curiously.

The idea of opening a technical school was proposed by Arthur at the previous cabinet meeting, but after it was handed over to the Ministry of Education due to various busy affairs, he did not bother with it.

This time, when he mentioned the changes in education, Arthur remembered that he had said about opening a technical school.

This is a skilled worker school that can bring many excellent practice skills to all walks of life in Australia, and it is still important for the current development of all walks of life in Australia.

If Australia's industrial development can have a large number of skilled talents, then the speed of development will not be limited, and it can usher in a period of violent explosion.

"It's done, Your Highness." Education Minister Richard replied.

Although technical schools are more for industry and other sectors, because they are actually schools, the construction and management are still carried out by the education department.

The second is to ask for support
