Someone asked, "If you were running for election, what kind of policies would you come up with that would address our country's needs? Both on a local and national basis?"
My answer:
"Reforms such as these would probably need to be introduced slowly, but ultimately I think I would like to see our Government:
Reduce many Federal powers and decentralize powers to the States
Strengthen certain aspects of moral law
Illegalize abortion
Replace our welfare systems with private insurances (on a user-pays basis)
Move towards privatization of health and education
Move towards privatization of most Government services other than justice and defence
Re-introduce, strengthen and expand certain aspects of work choices
Introduce a flat-tax and eliminate most other taxes
Recommend 0% interest rates on loans except to non-citizens
Sell-off much Crown Land (and weaken the concept of 'Eminent Domain')
Allow more water-catchment in high rainfall areas and the supply of water to the rest of the State including to the interior - but with much of the new infrastructure built, owned and operated by the private-sector or perhaps by local government rather than by the Federal Government
Replace prison sentences with a system of restitution
Fereign policy:
Move away from foreign-aid being the role of the Government and move instead towards it becoming more often the role of the private-sector and based on a business-model rather than a welfare model except in emergencies; and
Recover, with some adjustments, certain colonial-era values such as the harmonization of Government/military interventionism & governance (when its morally called-for) with private-sector foreign investing and Church missions
For example, for refugees: create & govern an autonomous region inside Afghanistan; then open the region up for foreign investment; and see the work of missionaries thrive there
And I would like to see our Government give glory to God publicly".
