Fixing Australia: 100 words
Let's uphold
- concern for life and our environment ahead of promoting markets.
- outlawing unconditional control of other people, or of Earth's finite resources, to advantage any section of humanity.
- the right of children to affection, respect, encouragement and guidance to develop understanding, reasoning, intuition, deliberation, conflict resolution and respectful co-operation with others.
- the right of people to a safe and healthy life, with freedom of association, communication and conviction, in consistency with similar rights of others.
- the right of each stakeholder to take part in decision making, feedback and liaison in all groups from local to global.

a few easy steps: -
1. Legalise all drugs and administer, in purified and regulated dose, without penalty or favour, the strongly addictive ones - heroin, especially, free of charge. A 44 gallon drum of pure heroin, imported from Afghanistan, costs about the same as one detective's yearly salary. Most of the coppers can go and do something useful for a change, as with the judges, and most of the screws can go home.
2. Abolish all taxation, and replace it with a GST - on everything! No exemptions for anybody, for any reason, whatsoever. No assitance to anybody through the taxation system.
3. Institute a Department of Sad Stories, where those requiring assistance may report, detail their circumstances, and receive, if necessary, a directly publicly accountable relief, in the form of goods, services, &c, but never money.
Try it! You might be amazed at the initial period of Darwinian selection, followed by a very meaningful consolidation of Australia's social structure.
