Weary?
I am.
There’s so much I don’t like going on, stuff that scares me.
To cheer myself up I thought I’d write a list of things I’d like to happen, in #auspoI and the world:
1. An emissions trading scheme.
2. Indigenous voice to Parliament
3. #changethedate
4. Federal ICAC

But wait! There’s more!
5. Transition plans for renewable energy jobs for those currently in mining
6. Publicly funded elections
7. A national job guarantee
8. Newstart set at 50% of median wage
9. Commitment to social housing
10. Some bankers in prison would be nice? #auspol

Fuck it. May as well keep going.
11. National plan for sustainable agriculture, protect our food security.
12. #auspol the manufacturing leader of renewable technologies
13. Free high quality public education from early years to university.
14. Medicare for dental and mental

Let’s go global:
15. Cut ties with the current US administration- aka “chuck a New Zealand”.
16. Condemn Israel and their occupation of free Palestine.
17. Free all asylum seekers currently detained in other nations on our behest.
Oh fuck!
I forgot #Murdoch
That one is probs 2-3

Prison is only for serious violent offenders (and bankers- see 10!)
Substance use would be decriminalised- it’s a health issue, dummies.
Private prisons should NEVER have been a thing. Let’s ditch that travesty.
People with mental illness should be in a HOSPITAL- not jail. Yes?

I’d also like a return to civil discourse
Independent public service to provide advice and expertise.
Break up the big four consulting firms, they do a LOT of harm we don’t see.
The IPA has got to lose its charitable status, as do religions. We’ll tax that, thanks Brian.

Speaking of tax, SIMPLIFY the system. Make companies and individuals PAY what they owe, no ducking and diving. They didn’t make it on their own, no one does. So put a little back. I’m looking at you Gina.
Twiggy. Santos.
The level of inequality is a symptom of a broken system

Once everyone pays their share we’ll have more than enough money for all of the above and even more!
No gap, no wait public health.
Free public transport, government owned.
A basic income perhaps? That’d be great!
Time to really stretch now...
4 day working weeks? 🙏🏻
#auspol

And with that cheery little wish list, I’m off to work. 😉
But I feel much better thinking about all the things I’d like to see happen, rather than thinking about the corrupt, broken, unfair system we have now.
Don’t you?
Have a good day tweeps.
