Well 57 responses to this thread and I seem to be the only poster to come up with a coherent set of policies that a Lib/Nat government can put into effect on return to office.
Lets review them again as a true believer should
1) Try Juliar Gilliard for treason. She is clearly a commo and terrorist. A quick trial and life sentence will set the tone for the next 20 years
2) Expel Malcolm Turnball and his fellow travellers from the Liberal Party. The party just can't afford the division his views create
3) Invite Gina Rinehart into the party and cabinet. Appoint her as Minister for Northern Development. Introduce her blueprint for a special Northern Australia development zone. Put her in charge of it.
4)Announce the progressive abolition of unemployment benefits. Each month 2% of people on the dole will be cut from the books. Those who are cut off will be given $5000 if they relocate to the Northern Australia to work under the new economic development zone
5) Double the GST and halve income tax. In particular implement a flat tax regime. This will immediately reward hard working entrepreneurs while still holding the tax base.
6)Spill the jobs of all scientists Open all positions up for application and ensure through proper interview processes that successful applicants have a balanced view on climate change.
7) Invite GG to be GG. In recognition of his affinity with the Australian populace and leadership in public opinion Tony Abbott appoints GG for a 10 year term as Governor General.
Firstly a new government has to put the fear of God into those animal Labourites and watermelons who are wrecking our great country. A decent show trail against Juliar and a long prison stretch should do the job.
OK perhaps treason is going a bit far. But I'm sure a decent AG like Betz can find/create some criminal act by the current PM. After all 5 out of 6 posters on ASF can see what a crook she is !! So there must be something there to hang a case on. And while they are at lets find something bang up Bob Brown and or Christine Milne.
Point 2 involves sharpening up the Lib/Nats so there is no back sliding into the rubbish, wet liberalism of the past. It will take nothing to achieve this objective beyond putting into action Point 1. That will clear all the softies out of the party in a flash.
Points 3-5 encompass the critical essence of a robust Free Enterprise Economy. Firstly recognise that private entrepreneurs are dynamos of wealth creation. And the biggest, bestest dynamo in Oz is ,of course, Gina Rinehart.
So lets bring her or her appropriate (
poxy) proxy into the government. Gina has already laid out the framework for Australias Great Leap Forward in her Norther Development program. It's all there folks. Just pick it up, put her in charge and Ginas yer Auntie.
The points about progressively and randomly flicking people off the dole and pointing them in the direction of the Great Northern project will act to
1) Help provide the cheap labour force to make this project work
2) Incentivive the multitudinous slackers in the work non work force and ensure keen competition for jobs thus improving productivity by restraining excessive wage growth...
3) Help kill the parasitical union movement by creating a pool of really desperate labour that will do anything for anyone at any price. (
That didn't quite come out the way I wanted it..)
The change in Tax regime is self explanatory. We need to incentivise the entrepreneurs of this great country and slashing tax on the top end by broadening the GST base is just the ticket.
Point 6 addresses the urgent need to have a balanced scientific community that is responsive to the needs of the development of this great country. Again from the ranks of ASF it is crystal clear that we have been badly let down by our scientists. At the moment most won't recognise the importance of the great wealth creators in Austral (our fossil fuel industry for one) and insist on creating imaginary environmental dangers that they know nothing about. They are threatening our economic future .
As GG so aptly points out once we get a Government with a firm grip on who gets employed as a scientist we can ensure that the Plimers ect of this world get the jobs they deserve and in particular can help appoint the right balanced people to key positions in CSIRO and so on. (Lets remember that Ian Plimer is on 2 boards with Gina Rinehart so its only a very small step indeed!)
I'm certain there are some distinguished retired officials from the Australian Mining Industry that be most suitable.
Now I agree that point 7 was a bit far fetched. GG for GG ? I's just not right and I agree a bit of an insult to a man of such prodigious talent.
Perhaps head of the Liberal Party ? Or maybe Leader of the Inaugural
Committee for the Advancement of Australia to the 21st Century? This would be the body that guides the country through the legal, political and social adaptations necessary to ensure a Prosperous and Bright future in this Great Land of Ours as we develop our Great Norther Regions.
The spade work for this vision has already been done of course. Just check out the great Gina's Vision and consider how far and how quickly we could go under the vigorous guidance of the wealthiest, most determined woman in the world.
Cheers
