Among other things, they should cut the bloated public service, invest the savings in a genuine reform of the chaotic health/hospital system, get tough on youth crime (and mean it), arrest the decline of standards and outcomes in the education system, remove the ban on uranium mining, moderate the extortionate royalties imposed on mining companies (especially coal companies), resist the activist push for a treaty with Aboriginal people….. and the list goes on.
