Here are my suggestions on how to fix Australia. It is not exhaustive but a discussion starter. I have deliberately shied away from implementation issues and special interest groups as best as I could.

Happy to debate.

Have a treaty with Australia’s first nation people including change Australia Day date.
Have a universal income for all Australians aged over 18. This income is taxable.
Have an income tax system with bottom rate @25% starting at $50k p.a.
Have a 3 tier income tax system that scales 20% $50k, 30% $125k, 40% $312.5k
Flat rate GST 12.5% on all goods and services. Additional compensation for disadvantaged groups.
Have a transition plan for 100% renewable energy by 2040. Some exceptions like flying and heavy/remote industry
Abolish HECS for Australian students. All subsequent post grad courses to have full fee recovery.
Institute rules that all jobs must have a short list with equal women and men to be considered. Assume all short list candidates meet job criteria as specified.
Members of any parliament can only serve for a maximum of 25 years in any elected capacity and only 25 years cumulatively.
Changes to the Australian Constitution need a 2/3rds majority of voters and 2/3rds majority of state agreement.

special mention @ #11 free childcare for all.

Treaties,changing dates,walking over bridges is only window dressing imo and does not solve real problems and issues.
