Australia: Let’s Push “Breakthrough” At The Federal Election

4 April 2022 by Glenn Barnes

Governance

As our two significant parties shape up for the coming federal election, there is more emphasis on what they will not do rather than what they will do.

We need politicians committed to developing policies that reflect the common good - not partisan bias or the needs of vested interests - and to implement efficiently and effectively.

Let’s demand some effective policies covering: Government income and expenditure; Energy policy and climate change; Defence; Affordable housing; Adequate staffing and funding for Health, Aged Care and NDIS services; Community reconciliation and healing; The social safety net; Equal education opportunities starting at pre-school…

A government that justifies all spending and revenue raising

Jim Chalmers has suggested businesses should justify price increases. The government should justify why they take our money from us and spend it on what they call “essential services” – including a large and expensive bureaucracy. The government should have an open zero-based budget approach in annual expenditure planning, justifying every dollar spent. Explaining their revenue-raising plan to fund the expenditure – including revenue raised from bracket creep. It is the “peoples” money the government takes and spends or re-distributes. We are owed a clear and transparent rationale for all taxes and spending – not obfuscation and political doublespeak.
