My idea for the summit involves 3 areas alcohol, cigarette smoking and the
public health system in Australia. Australia is facing a crisis at the moment in regards to an increasing population and a public health system struggling to cope with demand because in part to a lack of funding. In order to help fund the health system i would like to see legislation put in place where ciggarette manufacturers and alcohol companies put a percentage of their profits on an annual basis into Australias public health system. Binge drinking is becoming more aparent among our youth and so I would also propose that alcohol advertising be prohibited at sporting events and on television in the same manner cigarette advertising was stopped some years ago. Limiting the promotion of alcohol would be a step in the right direction to help solve the problem of binge drinking. |

Bite the bullet and enact the opt-out, obligatory organ donation scheme, like they have in Europe ... save billions and get all those hundreds of people dying on organ waiting lists back into society.
Only one in so many people die under the right circumstances and then things have to happen quickly. Unless the deceased has opted out of the scheme for religious or cultural reasons, the health system should be able to use this final gift. Australia has invested a lot in you over the years … education, health care, social support … why take something so valuable to your grave? Consider it the final Medicare levy. |

This was here before but seems to have been removed... not sure why - it was better than the obligatory donation idea, which implies that your body belongs to the state.
I think people should be allowed to sell their organs after death... money would be a great motivator in increasing organ donations, and would help people financially cope with death of a loved one. Organ donation can save multiple lives - shouldn't the donor be able to get some money to pay for their funeral?
