What changes to australia would you push for?

Me:

1) More catchments/ catchment improvement (we get loads a rain)
2) or Green Powered De Sal Plants
3) Green electricity generators (we have much more space than europe and they can do it))
wind farms
solar plants
wave turbine generators/ offshore wave farms
4) 1 year compulsory ONSHORE military service
(try and invade a country whos population has had military training)
5) North-South Canal to irrigate central australia.

Just food for thought..

I'd take anyone not enrolled into Uni or a Trade at the end of school and make them do volunteer work in a third world country for a year.

I guarantee you when they get back they will appreciate this beautiful, lucky country and get off their butt to do something.

I'd also have another Public Holiday

It would be a national act like an arse day.

Everyone would have to act like an arse for a day.

So dress up in stupid clothes do wierd things and laugh a lot.
Even the stiffs that come to fancy dress parties dressed in their normal clothes claiming they are "insert their twin brother/sister name here" would have to be an arse.

I would increase taxes, I would put GST on taxes, I would invent new taxes, I would tell the oldies to shut up and be thankful for what they get, I would give all pollies a substantial in crease in salary every 2 weeks and I would do all that for the good of our great Country..... deja vu??????[}:)]

* Appoint Nasi as my energy minister.
* Appoint Doggie as my minister for tax reimbursements on lingerie purchases (bit like the "education revolution" but on lingerie) Victoria secret purchases get a stimulus package :P. And have him as Arts and Films minister :P
* Appoint Poor Relative as minister for families and welfare, and social policy.
* I'd go further than one extra public holiday and make it a 4 day work week for all, with rotations so all days are covered and over lapping for retail, hospitality etc....
* ABOLISH middle class welfare.
* ABOLISH negative gearing - why reward spending and tax hard on savings?
* Ban foreign acquisition of farms, residential housing, and key assets that provide Australia with food, essential services (water, electricity etc), and the mining sector.'
* Introduce a super profits tax (please, cry me a river, its Australian Land for gods sake, not some hard done by executive.... and jobs won't be lost.... soft....man up!)
* Use the money from super profits to help develop sustainable long term industries for our children and their children, not just gouge the land for quick profits with a view of only caring about the current generation.....
* Encourage more social acceptance of boobs in the workplace.... allow them to flourish uninhibited, unrestrained.....
* Put feminist organizations on the terrorist list.... lol...
* Adopt a code of values so we can do away with all these religious arguments and formalize the right for people to believe or not believe and neither one having the power over the other in terms of influence or teaching cr@p at schools.... encouraging freedoms and not "banning based on sin or that non-sense....
* Abolish the classification laws surrounding p04n so its inline with US laws...... so it can be produced locally....
* Review all nanny state policies and repeal the laws and hunt down those who have lobbed or installed them, then force them to watch Family Guy for 7 days straight with no sleep, then set them free "re-educated" (special thanks to Kim Il for the idea)....
* REGULATE the banking industry - self regulation is a joke...... and increase competition by allowing cheaper foreign banks to setup here and lend cheaper money..... Australian's really don't know how much they are being ripped off....
* REGULATE telecommunications and increase competition...again... Aussies are being ripped side ways... and for some reason happily accept the cries from corporates.... (job loss job loss job loss....).... try hearing super profits, super profits...
* Revise laws of liability to prevent frivolous suits which create stupid insurance premiums..... if a dude gets canned, smokes drugs and dives into a sandbar... he did it.... not the surf life savers.....
* On Rick James birthday everyone must call each other "b1tch" for the whole day....
* REGULATE the TV industry.... all those digital channels, so little content... time to open up the channels to other companies.....
* Agree on the 1 year military service for all people..... westerners are naive and forget history always repeats itself.... doesn't matter how evolved we think we are.... it always repeats..... greed never changes....
* All windsurfing, kitesurfing gear is tax deductible as it contributes to a better lifestyle and less fatness :P

I'd promote the idea of people relying on themselves instead of looking for a handout no matter what level of society the bludger exists at. A part of this would be improving the way in which people can help themselves, using superannuation as a model along with other insurances against life's up and downs.

The abolition

make them personally responsible for the financial waste they create..world cup bid for starters...
a fine example was back in 1986 when some bright spark introduced a 3 x3 fuel levy in NSW to fund a 3 lane highway from Sydney to Brisbane...3 cents for 3 years would pay for the whole lot, 25 years later we still don't even have a 2 lane highway even to Kempsey! then again nothing would be done if there was any chance those "empty headed animal food trough wipers"has to stump up!!

Me? I would implement an instant pay rise for Prime Ministers to $1M p.a., a similar automatic superannuation scheme. and a 20 year retainer contract once out of office.

I would then resign.

What? You mean changes to help Australia. I thought you wanted honesty...
