Australian Politics

Cost of living - Introduce divestiture powers and use them on the monopolies. Reintroduce competition or nationalise that's the only two options left when it comes to Australia's consumer markets. The current situation benefits nobody.

Housing -> build public housing. Not affordable housing. Not social housing. It's not a demand problem, it's a supply problem. Use the Singapore HBD model and start building to get us back above the 10% minimum public housing stock.

Healthcare -> Move to a fully funded GP model. The hybrid has failed and a fully private system makes healthcare even more unaffordable. Clear out emergency rooms by putting a huge emphasis on publicly funded preventative care.

Climate change -> Fund the sovereign resources fund to the level of Norway's, introduce mandatory royalties on all natural resources so that the majority of our natural gas doesn't go oversees uncharged like it does now. Use that money to fund the transition to renewables, build rail AND investigations into the legalisation of nuclear.

Equity of GDP -> Create tax benefits for forming cooperatives like we used to have back in the pre-war period. The Liberals emphasis on 'small businesses' only serves the lucky few with enough capital to take advantage of poorer workers. Labor's emphasis on unionising a shrinking number of very large national businesses is failing to change the status quo. Historically Australia's cooperatives created a huge amount of shared wealth but they're too often choked out by foreign capital with no returns for the majority of Australians. Wesfarmers, Bega, SPC, Murray Goulburn, all traded in intergenerational equity for a short-term cash windfall.
