As a Nationalist, my opinion is all public utilitys should be owned and run by the government.
Examples are;

*The railway system- passenger, freight, permanent way, maintanance and customer service.
*The airline- passenger, freight, air ports, maintanence and customer service.
*Telecommunications- this includes telstra and the ABC.
*Shipping- ports, ships.
*The postal service.
*ALL health services.
*ALL education systems.

I was going to disagree on the education one, but decided to start a new thread instead:

No we're not all agreed.

My point was, lets take for example the railways;

Freight services subsidise suburban and long distance passenger trains thus keeping the fares low.(notice the price rises since the sale of freight corp,v/line freight and national rail)

The privatisation of permanent way and infrastucture has led to cost cutting which causes more breakdowns which equals delays and even accidents.

as for the others, im still waiting for the FIRST EVER Qantas plane to fall out of the sky due to failure caused by cost cutting in maintenance.

The others arent so worrying but how do you feel about poor service?

Note-  Private medical systems have never been government owned- sorry for the omission.

How about this for your personal responsiblities policy. I know it isn't an Australian example, but we aren't that far behind the US (we are the second most litigious society I think). $180 000 is rediculous for only three weeks. I would do it voluntarily for a fraction of that. Plus she obviosuly bears part of the blame for the situation. Some compensation is obviously justified given that they could have saved her the three weeks behind bars just by opening it up and sniffing it - assuming she told them what it was.

A US college student imprisoned for three weeks for trying to take flour-filled condoms onto an airplane has settled her lawsuit against the US city of Philadelphia for $180,000, a city spokesman said.

Or maybe the police swapped it over?

Was 3 weeks prison justified for a practical joke?

Hi FD
what i see as people power you could say like the liberal and labor party
Pretty much literally give accounts to the people who would then go shopping for their education medical and so on.
It boils down to complete privitisation of the system.

So if you have a medically problem which pops up and you dont have enough money
get the idea, ho big is your wallet.

Yes looked at their policies and thats what i got from it, they might shout we are for the people but really big business.

The Australian Peoples Policy and theirs not even close.

If you had noticed with the APP Policy it is people focused with people outcomes with the intention of reducing waste but solving those problems straight away and not when its election time.

Like the IR policy getting it checked but it is good. Have quite a bit of reference material to add but otherwise the policy itself is a go.

By the way hope that answered your question.

Here's a good idea: Scrap Multicultualism.
