Top of my mind right now:
- Abolish Long Service Leave and increase Annual Leave entitlements by the hours lost.
- Make all public transport free (except Taxis).
- 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.
- Ban all use of private cars for getting to and from work and within a certain radius of home.
- 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...
