History
General Rommel has been part of previous Australian Political Simulations, including ModelParliament and ModelAustralia. He joined AustraliaSim after being invited by phyllicanderer.

He then ran for the Division of Banks in the 3rd Parliament, gaining representation. He subsequently sat in the Parliament till the 7th Parliament where he was deposed from Greenway, which he transferred to after Banks was abolished in a redistribution.

During this time he was well known for his efficient maintenance of the House of Representatives, due to his Speakership. He also drafted the Code of Conduct Amendment Bill (giving rise to the CoC v 3), the AustraliaSim Constitution Bill (which mixed Canon and Meta), and the Parliamentary Participation Requirement Bill. All three would pass the Parliament.

Afterward, he served as Justice of the High Court of Australia for roughly 3 months. He wrote some significant judgments during this time, such as Re Mattmonti, and AnswerMeNow1 v woof332.

During this time, he also wrote what became the Meta Constitution, which split Canon and Meta given the burdens of administration and lack of clarity present. The Meta Constitution passed, however there were objections made against it.

Afterwards, General Rommel was appointed and confirmed as Clerk. As Clerk, under the Meta Constitution, he has actively chaired the Parliament. He resigned due to the challenges of being a Clerk.

He was recently appointed as a Justice of the High Court of Australia by the Youmaton Government. Recently, he decided cases such as AnswerMeNow1 v Commonwealth of Australia, PineappleCrusher_ v Commonwealth of Australia and Re: ODYG and SpyroSpeedruns.

In the present day, the member still continued to play an active part in the smooth running of the community, despite not holding a formal meta position.

General Rommel has declined the Order of AustraliaSim.
