The Perfect Australian Government

The perfect Australian Government would:
  • Legalise gay marriage (a marriage is a union between two people, regardless of gender)
  • Support women's rights
  • Improve parental and maternity leave
  • Tax the miners (suck it up)
  • Improve education
  • Introduce fast broadband connection into Australia
  • Have a more sympathetic immigration and refugee system (Tony Abbott, you try being on one of those goddamn boats)
  • Withdraw from the Afghan war
  • More funding for mental health care
  • Make voting optional for teenagers (This is important! The Voice of the Young People have the right to vote)

But most importantly, I wish the Australian Government would stop waffling around. I wish they would stop pretending that everything's okay, because it's not. I wish the Australian Government would be more sympathetic towards refugees - after all, they're not just coming to Australia for a change of scenery. I wish Australia would stop saying that we're not sexist and rascist when we are and I just wish that Tony Abbott would go DIE IN A HOLE.

Go Greens!

  1. And you live in a resource-rich state, and the boom.

    I do agree with your programme, and will probably show you where the Greens are trying.

    Who is the Green senator where you are? Now might be the time to write them a letter, or even invite them to dinner.

    (Right. Here's the Twitter stream: Twitter stream of Greens senator).

    The Greens have a strong policy platform.

    And the race-hate law is being enacted for the very first time. There's been squirming around for the past few months.
