I’m in charge of Australia…Now what?

I’m in charge of Australia…Now what?
 
This week our bloggers get busy changing the world because at this election time, they’re now in charge! Would you have a strategy in place if you were to make changes to our country?
 
Speaking of strategies, our support worker Krystle threw in a word challenge to be used in everyone’s blogs…. Look out for the word STRATEGY!
 
I would run the country like this, this is what I would change. My first strategy would be to make having fun all free. I would make all the arts and crafts things free. I would make all the shopping free too. Like food, shoes and clothes.

I would make food free too. Food that you cook at home and food in the restaurants and the food courts. I would make holidays compulsory. I would have to go on holidays too, every couple of months, but I would make that free as well.

If I was in charge of Australia, there would be a few things I would change. 
At first, I would dismiss all the people in charge and bring in my own people, who I know would do a better job than the old crew.  The people who I would pick would be people who are kind, understanding and who know what they’re doing. 

Here are my strategies for being in charge. In animal welfare, I would allow people to have two or three animals for free. But after the third animal, they will have to pay.

I would also have people who abuse breeding and who are violent towards animals to be charged and prosecuted with jail time.

Anyways, now for the less gritty strategies. Once a season everyone would get a basket to their front door filled with the essential staples, for example, flour, toilet paper, milk, toothpaste.  Also everyone would receive a native pot plant to plant. 

I would allow people to use coupons at the shops, (have you seen extreme cheapsakes?) but with expiry dates and conditions.

School starter, that is, Preps and year seven students would get a starter pack of the essentials of school supplies including a voucher for school shoes. TAFE and Uni would be very discounted, as I think people who are studying something they love and being in debt to do something they love, just sounds horrible.  That’s not fair. 

So if they finish the course they only have to pay a percentage of the cost, where as if they change their mind, then they would have to pay the full upfront cost.

Everyone gets a paid week off to spend time with the kids during the holidays and so there is always someone there watching them. You can split up the week through out the year, and can be separate from your partner. 

Also new mothers can get a year and a half of maternity leave as I know the first year of a new babies life is important. The new father can get a year of paid leave too. 

But in all honestly, having a Prime Minster, a one man person who is in charge of a big country is a big ask and a big responsibility. I don’t think one person can fix a big problem without a great team behind them including the normal citizens. 

But saying all of this, I think I would make a great Prime Minister, but I know there’s a lot more to keep everyone happy.  So I’ll just leave it to the bigger people and if they need help, I hope they reach out and ask us. - Haley. 
 
Hello and welcome to another strategic blog about politics and strategy. I love politics not because of the polices and procedures that are in place but the bickering and question time antics that comes along with it.

If I was the Prime Minister I would ensure that all people with disability have equal opportunity and rights without any changes needed to buildings etc. All buildings would be wheelchair accessible and all rails would be at an appropriate height. I would make all staff at shopping centres etc get training on disability etiquette. I would (attempt) to align my policies with the opposition. I would also make attending sport compulsory even when it’s raining (sorry Cindy)! I would make sure that the NDIS is up to standard and safeguard people with disability against people who rort the system. 
 
Onto American politics. I’m not sure on this President and I think I prefer the sixteenth President as he was very progressive and always thinking for those who need another to be their voice. Yes, I’m talking about Abraham Lincoln. 

I have a joke. - What does the Swedish president say when someone asks what car they drive? I-Kia. 

What would you do as Prime Minister? How would you run the country? 
Thanks for reading my blog and keep being awesome. Ben V
 
What would I do if I was in charge of Australia?
Since I’m in charge of Australia I need to get in touch with what the majority of people need while also not dismissing the needs of others who may need something different. Also keeping in mind that everyone deserves a fair go and make everyone feel welcomed as Australians. 

I would need to discuss and research the Prime Ministers of the past to see how things can be improved and also to take note of what works well for our country. While also keeping in mind that what might have been good for Australia in the past, may not be so great for us now. 

Meetings with State Premier’s would need to happen to see what is needed and to also get to know them so I know their leadership styles and what their strategies are for their State and/or Territories. After all, I need to know who I am working with so I can better help the people of Australia. 

I feel that everyone that is in a position of leadership in Australia (including myself) should be required to meet with people who are doing it tough, not only that, but for two weeks they need to live as they do and get that first hand experience so they can lead with empathy and kindness. 

While I’m no expert in running a country I would do everything in my power to make sure that everyone feels proud to be Australian and that everyone feels seen and heard. 

I acknowledge that being a leader of a country is an extremely stressful job and also a privilege that should not be taken lightly. 
Enjoy your day my friends and remember to lead with empathy and kindness, 
 Your friend, Shan.

If I was the leader of Australia, my strategy would be for everyone to be gaming around the whole world. Only some of work at home, and sometimes going out with friends and hangout with them on weekends. 

I like to work with police officer and help people around them if they make trouble and I really want to work like a police officer. 

I would give more money for people to buy a car and a little house with a small kitchen, and small stuff.  - I love all horror movies, from TJ your friend
 
Dear readers, this week's blog is if you were the Prime Minister of Australia for twenty four hours, what would you change.

Let me start by telling you I've been strategising my strategy of being Prime Minister of Australia for twenty four hours. I would lower taxes and I would give everyone four days off and I would make it a law that work is only five days a week and everyone working on a public holiday would receive an even bigger bonus.

I would keep the current road rules and I would spend a little bit of money on the Australian military and to fix the roads Australia wide.

A priority would be to build little country shops and build two nail salons in Garfield and I would have personal bodyguards and private chefs for myself. At no cost. - Written by Charlotte. 
 
If I was going to be Prime Minister my strategy would be over the time whilst in Parliament, is to allocate more funding to Defence. Including the Army, Navy and Airforce departments.

My strategy would be to make more bases for the defence force and add an active air craft carrier. I would use better nuclear power options.

I would make a day where there is no laws and people can do whatever they want. Some call that anarchy. 

If I could make it happen I would make travelling on public transport free for all customer's and free entry to all football matches. - Thanks, Nick

Hey friends how are you today?
Today’s topic is if you were the Prime Minister of Australia for twenty four hours what would you do and why. 


I googled what a Prime Minister actually is and it told me :- “as a party leader, elected to Parliament and appointment by the Governor General, must be a member of a house, with no term limits and must have reached the age of eighteen, be an Australian citizen and be a elector or qualified to become a elector who is entitled to vote in house of representatives elections”. That’s a lot isn’t it. 


I would have a strategy to lower taxes and make energy bills free. I would make TAFE free, medicare available to everyone and cheaper medicines. I would look after uni students better, give pay rises for all workers and free childcare to support working parents. I would also investigate animal cruelty offences and environmental protection for all animals.
