If I were Prime Minister, I wouldn’t be Prime Minister because I’d be President - I would have made moves to end our constitutional monarchy structure. Before I did that though I would have begun treaty processes with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and minimise government control over Black affairs because Blackfullas know what we need.
I would end human rights abuses against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people seeking asylum. I would treat family violence with the seriousness it deserves. We have an aging population and a drastically shifting global landscape dealing with climate change, inequality and globalisation and Australia is not prepared for this. I would invest in young people so they are prepared for this future. Finally, on a more serious note, I would commission a reality TV show starring me, because I firmly believe in the giving the public what they want.
Tell us what would you do?
