Thanks for the link Havick.
I'm all for another political party on the Australian landscape but the chances of it getting popular support are very limited. The other major
parties will attempt to knock you down at every opportunity before you can even get a leg up and that doesnt include the media which will twist your
policies/views against you espcially with topics/issues that may seem controversial.
I joined an alternative political party bout 5or so years ago before the Victorian State Election just to see what it was about and how it functioned.
It was called the "Australia Party" . The guy running it had vision and ideas but the whole setup seemed disfunctional and after several meetings
I decided to quit. I could see it wasn't going anywhere.
I have my own personal ideas about what an alternative party should do/beleive in regarding their policies but first I'll respond to your OP if I may

Good Evening All,
We seek to put the people of this great country first.
The needs of all Australians come first.
Statement like that have been made by many in the past......Acting on them would be great for a change. Standing by your word.

This will be controversial.......I commend you for your stance but as I have already read through the OP it ties with the no defence expenditure you
mention where I will comment later.

Sure to cause controversy......I agree in equal rights for all but like in George Orwells book "Animal Farm", he quoted "some are more equal than
others".....how far will this equality go?
Human rights for all....yes, 100%.....but is that going to include gay marriage rights? Because I can bet that question will arise and Ill publicly
state that I am against it.

The rights of the elderly will be protected and looked after.
The rights of the ill and sick will be looked after.
Agreed.....but how? Will you allow the sick and elderly the right to die? Euthenaise themselves? I beleive that is a human right that an elderly
person of able mind (not body) should have "the right" to choose.

More monetry policy and budget to be looked into that military of defence spending.
Military and defence spending to be wiped out by 2045.
Personally I disagree with this...and I'll tell you why. This claim sounds alot to me like what our government have been doing for years with our
economy.....Being the first reduce tarriffs to force local industries to compete internationally on a level playing field when other nations do not
follow at the expence of the demise of local manufacturing.
The same now with the Gillard/Greens trying to impose a Carbon tax and being the first western nation to do so at the expense of the cost and standard
of living of the average citizen.
Being the first to do something doesnt always work out when the rest of the world wont follow you, it leaves you extremely vulnerable.
I understand the premise behind reducing military spending but it would leave Australia fully exposed like walking around without pants in a prison
cell....sooner or later your gonna cop it. You cannot leave that sort of trust on the world community.

This is great in theory but will be impractical to the full extent invisaged by yourself. I'll explain at the end why.

UN appearance and influence to be incerased by 2025. ( To create a good influence for all countries on this great planet )
Once again only good in theory....the UN is a disfunctional body controlled by the United States. The UN does not do a good job, does not do it on
time or adequately. Increasing this corrupted influence can only mean more bad news.
How many times in thepast has the UN stodd by from the sidelines and watched people getting massacred in conflicts around the world when they could
have done something about them? Srebrenica? Darfur? It aint gonna happen.

long as needed for all indivuduals that are ifflicted with homeless' or living at below that standard poverty line of Australia. No citizen of this
country deserves to live on the streets and have no right to a meal or place of belonging.
I agree but beware making claims like that because the first thing the media will do is throw you in with Bob Hawke and his claims that "no child
shall be in poverty by 1990", back in the 1983 election.....the only way to eradicate thepoor class is to give them jobs and cheap housing to live in
to make a start.

What exactly do you mean by this? That we, Australia will take responsibility for protecting citizens in other countries? I agree in slowly ceasing
immigration thou.

Current governments in Australia cannot agree on a National Broadband Scheme ( FTTP ) or ( Optical Fibre to the Premises ) of every Australian

even know this scheme was promised to every Australian household in the most recent election! Whilst the partys are arguing like children, the nation
is suffering from rising real-estate prices, rising health care, rising inflation, rising COL, and the list goes on. We are so attached to the global
market that it is isanity, that we are dragged down by any other sinking ship.
We need to detach from the global market, but that goes against your earlier claims of increasing trade with other countries.

Agreed 100%
Now my personal points to add to this. If you want a successful political party that is anm alternative to the norm that the people will support
expect to make alot of enemies and put yourself at risk.
What I beleive.
Tarrif rates on imported product MUST be raised back to their former levels. To protect the local industries.
Basic Industrial/Economic Policy should be - that if we have to import anything into Australia, we cease importing that item/product and give local
manufacturers a tax incentive/discount to produce the same products here locally.
By doing so we protect and expand local industry and the manufacturing base. We are able to give Australians more jobs. More money is made and spent
inside Australia, the government benefits in conjunction to this with the tax's received on purchased and sold goods. Win Win situation.
Supporting local Australian Mining companies.....Mining in Australia should be Australian owned....the money should stay here.
Our Tax system needs an overhaul.....the more hours you work the less tax you pay....there should be an incentive for people to want to work more.
Not like the current system where the more you work the more tax you pay. With my idea, the more you work/less tax you pay will give people more money
in their pockets with more financial freedom to purchase/invest money into the local economy which in turn will help the government income aswell.
The more kids you have the less tax you pay. Having more kids is producing future tax payers for the government of the country, therefore families
should be given a break by having the main income earner get less tax as it costs alot more to raise 3 or 4 kids than it does for one or two.
This would benefit the family unit, it would promote larger families, thus increase our population growth, which in tern also stimulates the economy.
It would also allow the family unit to live on one wage as we used to in the 1950's where the father would work, the mother would stay home and raise
the kids.
Immingration should be selective and limited - lets face it, there are ethnicities/religions that DO NOT assimilate well into Australian society.
Immingration from these areas should be stopped for good.
Also, there should be a study put together to limit how many of a c ertain ethnicity can be allowed to settle in any one area. This will eliminate the
problem with urban ghettoes of one ethnicity where the local Australians are the minority and persecuted within their own country.
Illegal immigration should have a hard line no tolerance policy regardless of what any one else says.
Your illegal your not welcome. Whether its overstaying your Visa or arriving in a wooden boat.
We should not have to pay to process these people in detention centres...waste of money.....they land ashore....we lock them in cells.....until we can
organsie the next RAAF hercules to load them onto and fly them straight back to where they came from. No questions asked. They will all soon get the
drift.
The standard of living has to icnrease and the cost of living has to decrease.
Education should be free for all........universities should be highly subsidised for local students and Australianm youth should get first priority on
places not foreigners waving an open bank cheque.
I have heaps more ideas.....and my dieas I know would not be popular with many people but it would get the country back on its feet aswell as the
average family unit.
Australia needs to slightly withdraw from the internation globalisation theology and start looking after itself and whats best for its future not the
international bankers or those fighting imperialst wars.
Proactive policies not reactive ones.
