Chapter 257: The Upcoming House of Representatives Election ( 1/2)

On January 17, 1908, after several days of negotiations and preparations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially issued a public announcement, declaring the establishment of the Australasian Propaganda Department, which was under the management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and responsible for domestic and international propaganda work.

All news agencies, media outlets, and writer associations were to be supervised by the Propaganda Department to ensure that no information affecting national stability circulated domestically or internationally.

The news of the establishment of the new department quickly caught the attention of many politicians, as the current positions in Australasia could be described as scarce. Moreover, the fact that it was an important department subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made it even more significant.
