>
>> This is what I want :
>
>> 1. Fully independent country (not pathologically dependant on UK or USA

>> Australia?
>> We have much more resources than they have...
>
>> 2. Direct elections of Parliament and Senate reps. Preferential system
>> scraped and who get direct majority of votes win. Works perfectly in all

>> privileges. If you are a member of parliament you get your wage (which 
>> can

>> anywhere else. Work is paid, NOT positions - all income is taxable on the
>> same rules. Same law for all.
>
>> 3. All Australian citizens decide about all major issues 4 times (or more
>> or less if needed) every year on referendum. Works perfectly in
>> Switzerland and we are in 21st Century when everyone can vote cheap using
>> Internet, or snail-mail of Australian Post, which is IMHO, one of the 
>> best
>> things we have in Australia.
>
>> 4. No discrimination. All Australians have same rights. This one is a 
>> hard
>> one, but can be done. That exclude Government from my home,family and my
>> bed.
>> I am a family man, but if you are homosexual that's your private business
>> if you keep it in your home. You can be believer of any religion or
>> atheist. That's private opinion not regulated by any law EXCEPT if you
>> directly treat other people. Absolute protection of privacy of family. No
>> Family Court or other crap forcing people to divorce and divide children
>> and properties to make lawyers rich. Obligatory prenuptial agreement (all
>> assets recorded BEFORE marriage), obligatory DNA test when child is born
>> (hey whores, motherfuckers and adulterers I got you!) and automatic
>> division of properties in case of a divorce (to be avoid if possible)
>> according to tax returns and prenuptial agreement. Children custody,
>> generally (there are exceptions due to disability of the parent) 4 days
>> with mum 3 days with dad (or swap weeks even months if more practical),
>> mutually agreed less , but who want less days with kids, have to pay to
>> other parent for that. It's a fact that mums role is more important from
>> kid's eyes, but roles are changing today and flexibility is needed, BUT
>> parents are for life and obligation of care for own children is on their
>> parents. Nobody can take children from parents, abandoning own children 
>> is
>> a crime same like not taking care about old parents. Marriage is 
>> generally
>> for life. If you were joking, pay all costs - no single mothers on
>> Centrelink support for life. Also, reintroduction of guilt for divorce:
>> You screw your partner with someone else - pay alimony to the rest of 
>> your
>> life. Can't be simpler, no lawyers, no courts, no drama, no high costs 
>> for
>> the Government as family rely more on family members support - pure maths
>> in action. Work perfectly in many countries where there is no Centrelink,
>> and I tell you people there are more happy and stay all life with same
>> family. How much you put in your marriage is how much you get. Also, no
>> domestic violence cases without doctor's certificate and NO media
>> reporting at all about private maters like "I think that Bulldogs players
>> rape me in Coffs Harbour" BEFORE FINAL COURT DECISION. Heavy penalty for
>> scandalise, false accusation or vilification others. But, cameras are
>> allowed in the Court - no secrecy and protection of criminals like is the
>> case now. Same law for everyone - no judge opinion. And of course, no
>> foreign company running our prisons.
>
>> 5. No political correctness. All reps in the Parliament and Senate MUST
>> obey voters will. If they don't, they are kicked-out by the voters.
>> Remember referendum 4 times a year? All reps get marks. So we will see
>> what marks Tony Abbott will get for framing One Nation or Downer for 
>> lying
>> about WMD. All reps have mini referendum BEFORE they can vote for 
>> changes.
>> Half automatic decision making.
>
>> 6. All laws and regulations MUST be translated to plain Australian
>> language everyone can understand. All "grey" legislation written to be
>> manipulated by lawyers scraped. All new laws HAVE NOT TO BE in
>> contradiction of the part of 10 Commandments regulating relationship
>> between people, as this simple rules are accepted by all major religions
>> (Judaism, Islam and Christianity which is majority of Australian
>> population) and have no wrong to anyone who want moral, happy life and
>> honour and peace for everyone. Atheist do not need to obey worshiping
>> requested in the first few Commandments.
>
>> 7. All not-Australians (people who don't held Australian citizenship) pay
>> higher tax. Currently, all strangers are robbing Australia and avoid tax.
>
>> 8. All Australians have bulk billing fully paid by the Government. No 
>> need
>> for any Medicare or other Health schemes. Doctors are paid by the
>> Government according to the number of sick people (more sick -  less pay
>> as they have to prevent people being sick). Work perfectly in China. Not
>> necessary doctor's interventions (for example: sick leave certificates 
>> for
>> healthy public servants to take more than 2 days off work, chat sessions
>> for pensioners who has nothing else to do than visit doctor,
>> hypochondriacs or breast enlargement etc..) must be paid from own pocket.
>> Bulk billing services financed from tax -see below. If doctors think they
>> are worth more than prescribed price of service, they can try to charge
>> more. If people are willing to pay they will make money but the risk to
>> lose patients is also there.
>
>> 9. Free dental retirement for all Australians. See number 8. Basically to
>> fill the hole cost actually just few dollars and real price should be 
>> paid
>> by the government. Cosmetic beautification not needed for chewing is
>> private expense and dentist can ask how much money they want. Market
>> demand will regulate the price.Nobody can sue doctor, dentist, fireman or
>> other people that help if something goes wrong. Accidents happen.
>
>> 10. Free Primary schools (with curriculum adjusted to the best European
>> practice). We don't want illiterate children after 8 years of school
>> education unable to do maths and show Australia on the map of the world,
>> which is currently the case. And I hate that the only foreign language
>> option for my kids is Japanese.
>
>> 11. 35 hours work week (7 hours over 5 days). No overtime. More work has
>> to be done - employ more people. Work on weekends - employ more people 
>> and
>> pay penalty for work on weekends, holidays, and out of normal (let's say
>> between 8:30 to 18;00) hours. No experts on the job market - pay for
>> training to have them. It's called good management. Why does the
>> Government have to be responsible for your business? Invest your money in
>> your business to make more money. No work for the dole or teenagers
>> exploitation. Work has price and price is not in any connection with the
>> age of worker.
>
>> 12. High School and College: partly paid by scheme similar to Austudy.
>> People who finish High School or College earn more money. It's fair they
>> return something.
>
>> 13. Study at UNI:  Businesses who want UNI educated workers should 
>> finance
>> them during study. It's called stipendium and it is implemented all 
>> around
>> Europe. If you want to study and no business want to finance you, pay for
>> it yourself as you will earn more money after graduation. I don't believe
>> in poor students from poor families in Australia. People are only poor if
>> they are stupid and waste money. Everyone can live quite comfortably just
>> from Centrelink payments. Ask me - I do. My kids have everything from my
>> pension and my savings from my worktime. It's called financial planning.
>> Take responsibility for yourself!
>
>> 14. Centrelink: All 27,000 people employed there can start looking for 
>> new
>> job. It's 21st Century and in Australia when you start to work you fill
>> existing red form given to Tax office by every employer so your 
>> Centrelink
>> payments automatically stop. When your job is finished, there is form 
>> call
>> separation certificate so your Centrelink benefit can automatically 
>> start.
>> Same benefit covering basic life expenses for all Australians with
>> automatic ALL bills payments as the first priority. No benefit for
>> non-Australians. No black job market or work for cash. Who makes money 
>> can
>> pay the tax.
>
>> 15. Tax: Same flat rate for everyone calculated on formula like: We need
>> $xxx for Australian budget so we need to collect $xxx this year. This is
>> exactly how much we collected last year with some adjustments. Can't be
>> simpler. No tax deductions, business expenses and other claims, no need
>> for tax agents etc. As said before, foreigners (including British 
>> citizens
>> living here for ages refusing to become Australians) pay higher taxes.
>
>> 16 Foreign Policy: Every country get exactly what they give to us. No
>> discriminating FTA or Social Security Agreements and other rubbish. If 
>> USA
>> or any other country wants FTA let's talk about TOTAL abolishment of
>> custom taxes on both sides and free export and import. If this can't work
>> forget it. Protect our jobs and products by custom duty. Why do I have to
>> pay for a kilo of Australian apples for $6 in Australia and I can buy 
>> them
>> for only 50 cents in America? Immigration for more people (not by boats)
>> with obligatory first 3 years in the country. Citizenship after 3 years 
>> if
>> the rules are obeyed (staying in the country and no law breach).
>
>> 17. Defence: No Australian soldier can be involved in any military
>> activity outside Australia. No Iraq, no Afghanistan, no East Timor -
>> people living there has right to arrange their living as they want if 
>> they
>> need help there are UN in New York for help. Imperialism is dead. All
>> Australians have duty to defend Australia INSIDE the Australian borders
>> and should be trained for that. Works perfectly in Switzerland. If
>> Australians want to fight wars outside Australia it's your private
>> business, but don't expect that I will take you out from Guantanamo Delta
>> camp.
>
>> 18. Freedom of speech: no broadcasting licences (same apply to liquor and
>> gambling). Heavy penalties for disinformation and no help should be given
>> to gamblers, alcoholics and drug users. Your choice to damage your life 
>> is
>> your private problem and as per 14. bills are already paid....
>
>> 19 Crimes and prosecution: Reduce number of crimes by abolishment
>> penalties for not damaging activities. For example: no excuse for murder,
>> paedophilia, drug trafficking and other serious crimes, but no speeding
>> tickets and cameras on roads build for 200 km per hour (all freeways and
>> many roads) if you drive according to road capabilities and there is no
>> accident. Loss of licence and other penalties if you cause severe damage
>> or death. Also, abolish restraining orders (penalising for not committed
>> crime in most cases without intention to commit  the crime). Sent
>> applicants to psychiatrist to ask for help for paranoia. Clear,
>> legislations in plain Australian language. Legal Aid automatically 
>> awarded
>> to both sides: 2 options are no lawyers or both have lawyers.
>
>> 20. Abolish outsourcing and keep jobs here. As said before, all foreign
>> business should be taxed. Why Australians have to give more money to
>> already rich strangers? Respect and apology to Aborigines, but no
>> privileges. Same rights for everyone. What happened in the past is over,
>> today is another day preparing us for a better tomorrow.
>
>> I have no idea how I can be elected as a next Australian PM but if this
>> scribbling have any value, help me to be elected.
>
>> Or pass what is good to existing political parties for implementation. If
>> elected, I promise that my cabinet will include members of all major
>> parties for continuity, with exclusion of incompetent or vicious
>> politicians who didn't show any results before. For example, I can't see
>> any role for Tony Abbott, Downer or Vanstone, but Costello or even Howard
>> (if start to tell only the truth), Latham, Rudd, Faulkner, Beasley,
>> Stott-Despoja, Bob Brown, Harradine and Pauline Hanson are welcome. Again
>> , this is only my opinion which can be changed if you convince me.

If you are not happy, return to your native country.

Australian freemasons worked very hard to make Australia as it is.
