my basic items that govt should be:

small as possible
create economic environment for investment and jobs
look after core issues that private sector does not, like education, defence etc.
have safety net for the less fortunate.
treat pensioners fairly.
invest in GOOD infrastructure (NBN not one of them)

and stay out of everthing else, as they are inefficent, wasteful, and private sector does better.
