It appears to me that Australia’s most pressing problem is corruption.
To tackle any of our most urgent issues , we must dig out any and all corruption, and impose prison sentences on those guilty of corrupt acts.
In particular, corruption must be met with strict laws, thorough investigations, criminal charges, fair and open trials, confiscation of the proceeds of corruption, and long prison sentences for those found guilty..
All of this must be done in a way that prevents corruption charges being used as a political weapons.
This will depend on setting up effective independent anri-corruption commissions
federally and for each state.
Finally, whistle-blowers must be protected.
This is my opinion. This country will not progress if we refuse do this. It will remain a broken state.
Corruption is like an infected gall-bladder: We suffer the painful debitation as it rots inside of us and infects everything around it.
Removal is the only cure.
