Reform
Apr 8 2008, 7:27 AM EDT We are over governed and over regulated. Our nation was founded on a compromise between colonies that didn't want to lose their power. I reckon its about time our government was shaken up like every corporation in the country has been. Firstly, abolish all existing council boundaries and make each lower house electorate the new council boundaries. Each of these council to be split into 9 wards. Make the member of parliament for the electorate answerable to the council, basically, make them work and turn them into lobbyists. Secondly, abolish all state parliaments. This would free up funds that are wasted through duplication and spread the power more evenly. Thirdly, reform the senate into representatives from each state and territories to cover each government department. Each state should be proportionately represented. This way people can vote for individual policies involving each department rather than a group of policies as is the case now. Finally, reform of spending. Have a basic credit value for each person in the country covering essential services and infrastructure. All electorates have equal basic funding. The councils may then trade these credits, such as road funding for education or health, with other councils. This way councils will control where the infrastructure is invested. 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |
