Would you vote for my policy's And if so or not why?

1: Tarffs: So importing goods become far more expensive than creating them here.

2: End concessions: End generous tax concessions and the socialist corporate welfare.

3: Interest free loans: Have a public bank who offers interest free loans to business.

4: Sector Control: prevent any one business or corporation from controlling any more than 40% of any given sector to ensure there is competition, to drive down prices and rise wages.

5: Government Control Sector: Government must be involved in every sector controlling a set amount (no more than 10% of a given sector), to provide a sector 'stranded's' that the private sector must either achieve or do better.

6: Education reform:

Replaying things like algebra and calculus with basic economics and finance (mainly budgeting). So the average Australian understand how the economy works and to teach youth how to budget and hand their money.

Teaching students (year 10) university stranded critical thinking. So the average Australian can better critical analyze information they receive.

Also a strong focus on the following:


• Social and relationship skills
• Creative problem solving skills
• Negotiation skills
• Communication skills
• Marketing skills

And mainly

• Entrepreneurial skills

6: No bailout: Introduce laws perverting future governments being able to bailout out troubled businesses, corporations, Banks and industries.

7:Welfare

• Welfare-to-work programs
• financial incentives to take up paid employment
• Cancel Payments under $10 or merge the payments with other programs.
• Increase Requirements to qualify for benefits

1: Tarffs: So importing goods become far more expensive than creating them here.

Not enough detail on this one to comment. Which goods? How big will the tariffs be?

2: End concessions: End generous tax concessions and the socialist corporate welfare.

Again not enough detail. There are a lot of things that could conceivably come under this category.

3: Interest free loans: Have a public bank who offers interest free loans to business.

Definitely not. Such a scheme would be a huge target of fraud and cost an incredible amount.

4: Sector Control: prevent any one business or corporation from controlling any more than 40% of any given sector to ensure there is competition, to drive down prices and rise wages.

How? Anything related to the internet will naturally gravitate towards a single entity controlling the majority of business disrupting this will just enhance the likelihood it be a foreign entity with monopoly status. Generally though, I agree with the idea but question the reality of enforcing this in a meaningful way beyond bricks and mortar business.

5: Government Control Sector: Government must be involved in every sector controlling a set amount (no more than 10% of a given sector), to provide a sector 'stranded's' that the private sector must either achieve or do better.

Disagree with this. Many sectors do fine without a government player.
I do however endorse the idea of government running profit making businesses. And I believe business bailouts should come in the form of (partial) buyouts.

6: Education reform:

Replaying things like...

Most of these things were taught in school at at least a basic level...it doesn't mean people pay attention though.

And mainly

• Entrepreneurial skills

This is more of a mind set than a set of skills. But I agree school focuses to much on skills that can be seen as ways of doing things and not enough on recognizing business opportunity and handling risks/failure (roughly 1 in 4 start ups are successful)

7:Welfare

• Welfare-to-work programs
• financial incentives to take up paid employment

These already exist, how would you change them?

• Cancel Payments under $10 or merge the payments with other programs.

Merging payments across departments of government would be a staggeringly huge task and cost serious $$$. Agree though that tiny payments are inefficient and should be avoided.

• Increase Requirements to qualify for benefits

Lacking detail this could mean too many things to comment on it.

Two points:

4: Sector Control: prevent any one business or corporation from controlling any more than 40% of any given sector to ensure there is competition, to drive down prices and rise wages.

In reality, competition drives down wages as well as prices, as manufacturers and retailers struggle to cut their own throats as well as each others to get customers. Labour is the biggest overhead, so where do you think they are going to save money to discount prices?

6: Education reform:

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Would you vote for my policy's

Would I vote for your policy's what? Oh I see...you mean, 'Would you vote for my policies?'

[Rejn]

Would you vote for my policy's And if so or not why?

It seems like I wouldn't, or I'd at least need more detail.

1: Tarffs: So importing goods become far more expensive than creating them here.

May trigger tariff wars. Not worth the risk considering exports/GDP in Australia is around 20%. (21.26% in 2012)

2: End concessions: End generous tax concessions and the socialist corporate welfare.

Could you be a bit more specific about this?

3: Interest free loans: Have a public bank who offers interest free loans to business.

How are you going to prevent rorting here?

4: Sector Control: prevent any one business or corporation from controlling any more than 40% of any given sector to ensure there is competition, to drive down prices and rise wages.

This is already in place in the private sector.

Also, competition drives down wages as businesses feel more pressure to control costs.

5: Government Control Sector: Government must be involved in every sector controlling a set amount (no more than 10% of a given sector), to provide a sector 'stranded's' that the private sector must either achieve or do better.

Do you mean standards? Why should anything the government does be used as a standard for the private sector? Whenever I deal with them they're utterly hopeless.

6: Education reform:

Replaying things like algebra and calculus with basic economics and finance (mainly budgeting). So the average Australian understand how the economy works and to teach youth how to budget and hand their money.

Calculus is necessary to work through some economic models and algebra is necessary for understanding both economics and finance. We already have problem solving involving money in high school maths, but I do think there ought to be a separate subject for personal finance in schools (starting with primary!)

Teaching students (year 10) university stranded critical thinking. So the average Australian can better critical analyze information they receive.
Also a strong focus on the following:


• Social and relationship skills
• Creative problem solving skills
• Negotiation skills
• Communication skills
• Marketing skills

And mainly

• Entrepreneurial skills

I think critical thinking should be incorporated into separate subjects, and wouldn't really work as a standalone subject.

6: No bailout: Introduce laws perverting future governments being able to bailout out troubled businesses, corporations, Banks and industries.

Yes!

7:Welfare

• Welfare-to-work programs
• financial incentives to take up paid employment
• Cancel Payments under $10 or merge the payments with other programs.
• Increase Requirements to qualify for benefits

Specifics!

Also, competition drives down wages as businesses feel more pressure to control costs.

Competition between business is a check on prices unless collusion takes place that is, but of course there are laws against cartels, except cartels of labour that is.

There is no point in voting it just encourages them.
