Things to do when I'm Prime Minister  #
Tuesday, 14 Aug 2001 02:12PM
Top of my mind right now:
  1. Abolish Long Service Leave and increase Annual Leave entitlements by the hours lost.
  2. Make all public transport free (except Taxis).
  3. Subsidise Taxis so users are only paying running costs, not drivers wages. For those who need taxis (dissabled, elderly etc.) the service will be free.
  4. Ban all use of private cars for getting to and from work and within a certain radius of home.
  5. Reduce the maximum allowable hours per day to 6 (30hrs a week).

Why? You tell me. My favourite for discussion making is number 5. I already hear a thousand cries of "but what about?" I have an answer for all of you. You're just not going to be happy with it.

Unfortunately there are far to many other issues involved in running Australia that I can't be bothered dealing with right now so I guess it's all just a pipe dream. Still, they're nice topics to think about...
