If I were PM I would abolish welfare as we know it today and replace it with a system that provided FREE services for EVERY child AT SCHOOL or college.

FREE: books, uniforms, footware, DIRECT travel to and from school, three meals at day from the tuck shop FOR EVERY STUDENT.

I would abolish the baby bonus and replace it with and EDUCATION BONUS. Such bonus would be distributed to a student while they attended school. 3 strikes and you're out! If a student missed 3 days in any one term, without a doctors cert, then the funding for the next term is voided.

I would stop handing welfare to parents and provide ALL children with FREE neccesities. No CASH-NO SPLASH!

I would empower police to collect miniors from the streets say after 9pm, retun them home and charge the parents a fee for the effort. They will soon learn.

Free travel to and from work for all students.

I would provide self funded retirees with a 100% TAX FREE LIFESTYLE. They get 100% of thier tax back each and every year including GST. I would also give them free GENERAL RATES at thier priciple address.

I would allow ALL work related expenses to be tax deductable including parking and X $ per KM for travel DIRECTLY to and from work. I would base this on an average 4 cyl car, you want bigger you pay the balance.

I would ban live exports and send all meats overseas in a box. Keep the jobs here.

Out of time, to be continues.

Oh dear I have lost track of this thread, and, in catching up, discovered that Examinator has appointed me Minister for the Arts and Having a Good Time.

Consequently my head has been buzzing with all I could do and have not been able to apply my usual focus on subsequent posts. All of which I am sure of full of valid and wondrous solutions to the plight of being human.

Of posts that did stand for cogency and inclusiveness were:

Pelican (logic)
Examinator (in serious mode)
Belly (Huminity)
Foxy (soul)
Bronwyn (thoughtfulness)

If I have missed anyone I apologise - I did skim to catch up after all.

Perhaps what we need is a collective PM?

Bronwyn ,thoughtfulness:
From your kingdom, do not forget your poor relatives,

Ooops Belly, typo; I meant humanity.

A.S. your comment was uncalled for. As my mum used to say, I you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. I have disagreed with Bronwyn on various issues in the past but I would never accuse her of being thoughtless in any post she has ever made.

I think we need a Minister of Respect.

You can indeed. It fact I thoroughly enjoy it when you are. The thing is, as you can see, I’m just not always up to interpreting it, that’s all, but hopefully others are.

It did follow my post, but I wasn’t even sure whether or not your Solon-istic dig was aimed at me, or made more generally. If it was directed toward myself, then I will make it my business to get to the bottom of it. If not, I guess I’ll just leave it to others. :)

I still haven’t heard back from Forrest to know whether or not my sleuthing efforts have cracked his cryptic trail. I thought I had it all figured at the time, but for all I know I could be way off beam.
