* Tax reform: Ensure every level of government gets their fair share of tax with improved revenue sharing to support the efficient provision of public services.
* Education: Help Australians change careers later in life by making it easier for all ages to access learning materials.
* Patient-centred care: Put the patient at the centre of healthcare with a reconfiguration of the health care system.
* Intergovernmental relations: Get the relationship right at the top tier of Australian governments - the Council of Australian Governments.
* Innovation: Promote business innovation by being more responsive and willing to experiment at all levels of government.
* Alcohol tax: Scrap tax concessions for high-alcohol, low-value products in a move towards a reformed alcohol tax system.
