What right have you to dictate that people cannot ride a bicycle without a helmet?

If the reason is that the tax-payer may supposedly have to pay the medical bills if I break my head, then what about allowing people to either take an alternate insurance for this specific case; or to opt out of Medicare altogether (I'm not even suggesting to withdraw the 1.5% tax from general revenue because I'm aware that the budget-debt is pressing - only to forfeit the benefits)?

Y,

The elections determine the will / consent of the people. Abbott received it overwhelmingly.

Dear Graham,

Here's a few I'd like answered:

1) Will you allow a 'conscience' vote on same-sex marriage?

2) Will you have a double dissolution election if Labor
and the Greens block a move to scrap the carbon tax in the
Senate?

3) What industrial relations reforms are you planning
on bringing in?

4) When will work begin on Sydney's WestConnex,
Melbourne's East West Link, Brisbane's Gateway upgrade,
Adelaide's North South Road, Swan Bypass in Perth?

5) Will you be increasing defence spending?

6) Will you explore the question of Australia becoming
a Republic?

7) Who will you appoint as the next Governor General?

8) What national assets are on the books for sale to
foreign interests?

9) When will you stop the boats?

That's it for now.

My interest is on tackling youth crime,
compensation for victims of crime,
a non-military type of national service for all young people,
a fairer tax,
A clear & concise Superannuation/Pension scheme.

Ah GY,

You ask us to “Bear in mind when making suggestions that the questionnaire has to be value neutral so that it doesn't skew results”.

The entire basis of “opinion” for many on OLO is “moral and value” based assessments. Critical thinking is entirely absent. Responses should be both predictable and interesting.

For my part I would ask:-

Has the LNP adopted the “give them enough rope” strategy to the progressive ABC, given their intention to hold a departmental costing review of ALL government departments?

Does the decision to “telegraph” to GM that the public gravy train is no longer heading their way, mean that they are standing up to foreign manufacturers for holding out their hand for more subsidies, or that our budget problems take priority over ideology?

Do the current court cases into trade union and former ALP power player alleged frauds, form a basis for an LNP judicial review into such activities?

Does the LNP take the view that “progressiveness” in Australian politics is something to be addressed? Do they subscribe to the view that the commentariat has flagged its allegiance to the left of politics, is working contrary to the interests of all Australians and is a vocal minority determined to disrupt the establishment and policies of a majority government?

Does the LNP recognize that many of the important issues of governance within trade union management are based on similar rhetoric but different “motives and intent”? Do they understand that the trade union “management” shares rhetoric with the workers but is only intent on self promotion, career opportunities, high salaries and career paths to political pensions? How will they explain this to the disenfranchised workers and union memberships that have lost control of their own unions in terms of representing their memberships and control of their own money?

Does the LNP recognize that the parasitic relationship between the regulating class and the trade union movement is denying the membership of trade unions their rights to have any say in their own movement? What does the LNP see as a resolution to this?
