People Power

Balance the Budget ( weather by increasing taxes or cutting spending is not clear)

Support:

THE reduction of illicit drug use by suggestion and coercion ( Good luck – if you have any effect what so ever please notify the rest of the world)

Voucher s for all students so they can go to private schools on government hand outs

Small bisness – less corporate subsidies

Localism – devolution of authority Community Insurance

Less subsidies to fossil fuel producers

Less prisons – shorter sentences – more help for recidivists – remove the mentally ill from goals ( the mentally ill and the mentally challenged make up a significant proportion of the prison population and the State Parliament)

Less ‘silos’ in quasi-government organisations, (quangos) especially the Wheat Board

Less Public Liability Litigation, reducing the control that insurance companies wield over our daily lives

Tackling the housing crisis by releasing more land for public housing and reducing the minimum size limit for housing blocks in the country ( Yes, for us people who live here that means those annoying neighbors just got a lot closer. On the other hand, we can subdivide, make killing and go further out and repeat the process, providing the keeps up the demand for land by importing 200,000 imigrants every year)

More solar power

More bounties on feral animals ( and Fundamentalist Christians)

More support for Dads and grandparents in family disputes

Small government – Largese to go directly to comunites and families.

Temporary Protection Visas for refugees – Send them home to their fate after their little holiday, or tow them back to Indonesia and abandon them.

Oppose:

Corporate and union donations to political parties.

(For donations to individuals see below)

Government funding for political parties( presumably because this favors the poor and downtrodden who would otherwise have difficulty matching the contributions of the filthy rich. We need look no further than the U.S.A. to see the results of this policy)

Off shore processing of refugees and cattle

Warning – This is just a rough framework. In the unlikely event of The Party being elected, members will be free to do whatever takes their fancy (This, of course, could be interpreted as an open and very public invitation to indulge in corruption. Or to put it another way. Lobbyists are encouraged to pressure individual members rather than the Party as a whole)

Conclusion:

A rather vague and wishy-washy party whose fundamental goal is that everyone should be nice to each other. Free hugs all round. Good Luck!
