Well I have a rather extensive list of pilferred policies too...

From One Nation.

ONE NATION (NSW DIVISION) MEDIA RELEASE

SIX NOTED ECONOMISTS SUPPORT ONE NATION BANKING POLICY

Governing Australia is pretty easy - just wait for One Nation to come up with a good idea, condemn it, laugh at it, douse it with scorn,   then when everyone has forgotten who thought of it first trot it out as your own policy.

Some of the instances where  One Nation initiatives have been copied are: the abolition of  ATSIC (Howard Government 2004),  initiating offshore detention for illegal immigrants (Howard Government  2004), reforming the Family Law Act (Howard Government 2004), renaming the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs to be   the Department of Immigration and Citizenship   (Howard Government January 2007),   introducing a citizenship test  (Howard Government September 2007), cutting  the skilled migration program (Rudd Government March 2009) and   giving preference in Government purchasing to locally made products (Rees Government June 2009).

The most recent example  is the call by six noted  economists, in an open letter to the Federal Treasurer,  for the re-establishment of  a state-owned bank modelled on what  the Commonwealth used to  be  to stimulate competition and give consumers  better options.

Re-establishment of a national publicly-owned bank has always been One Nation  policy and is  written into the original  One Nation Principles and Objectives.

Since deregulation Australia's   banks have become glorified  loan sharks who actually want people to  be poor money managers and   late payers on their credit cards so they can charge them exorbitant  interest.

Any small business that treated its customers the way  the banks treat theirs   would go broke in a month for lack of clients.

One Nation says: now that  the global financial crash has exposed the folly of  market  deregulation  the vital and strategic business of banking should be put back under the control of the peoples' representatives with a State-owned bank as  Commonwealth  once was.
