Most fundamental to our society is information - the ABC and SBS need proper funding, to restore our access to authoritative, unbiased sources which provide a proper spread of ideas and opinion - unlike commercial media.
<br>
Provide greatly increased funding for pure research in our universities - so that research can again operate in topics that have no commercial gain. Also restore the research and development, and investment tax subsidies for Australian companies, so they are assisted to establish themselves - and to be independent of overseas companies for information and techniques.
<br>
Restore the rights (and even the responsibilities) of CSIRO and other scientists to again speak out on issues freely, and establish this as an essential source of information in a democratic society, even when contrary to government opinion.

I would like to see each State of Australia have the same laws and regulations. As an example each State has their own Police Force. Still keeping the same Police Force in each State but let it be administered from Canberra as a Branch of the Federal Police. There are so many different things between States today its common sence to put some of these things under a national banner.

It's a waste of money, and is counter-productive - pushing people into crime and prostitution.
