Australis
Prime Ministership
Jared was the second Prime Minister of Australis, and the first elected Prime Minister of Australis, gaining office on 23 April 2020. he held the position by virtue of his position as leader of the Libertarian Socialist Party, which was officially supported by many members of the Pentarchy of Australis at the time. On 6 May 2020, the Pentarchy banned political parties and dissolved Parliament, in order to bring about widespread reforms to Australis, which at the time was less than a month old. Following this, Jared was appointed as an advisor to the Pentarchy.
On 28 May 2020, Daniel Hamilton, a member of the Pentarchy at the time, proposed to disband the Pentarchy through a majority vote to allow him to succeed it as the first Grand Duke of Australis. In order to do this, Hamilton asked Jared to lobby members of the Pentarchy to vote in favour of the dissolution, in exchange for being appointed as Prime Minister again if successful. On the same day, the vote passed, and Hamilton appointed Jared to the position, however renamed the role to 'Chancellor of Australis'.
Jared served as Chancellor with no official political affiliation (As this was still prohibited) until 7 November 2020, when he submitted his resignation to the Grand Duke. He was succeeded by Patrick Kenny, who had previously served as the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Following his resignation, the Grand Duke awarded Jared with the Order of Australis for his exceptional contributions to Australis as Prime Minister and Chancellor.
