An election! I know, it hardly seems possible, but your eyes do not deceive you and this really is a Federal election in FISHER QLD - and what an election! So here it is The WHIG PARTY election manifesto and what your candidate Mike Jessop is really going to do when elected - no promises just do or don't do.

1. Re-introduction of democracy to state ( and Federal) parliament by the Abolition of the three line whip ( compulsory party vote )
2. Electoral Reform to amend the constitution making it impossible to introduce any kind of legislation legislation without conducting market research MORI / GALLUP poll asking 1,000 people prior to the introduction of legislation
3. Legal reform that replaces the standard of proof of beyond all reasonable doubt and balance of probabilities in civil and criminal matters that weighs and adds only certain evidence with one that multiplies out all the evidence available to the people on the basis of conditional probability to become a model for all States and Territories and for export
4. Banking reform It will surprise most Australians to learn that banks aren't regulated or even licenced introduce licencing as pre-requisite to 0.5% credit and 0.5% E-Tax or 1% GGST ( gifts goods and service tax to replace current 10% GST and Income Tax)
5. Reduce bureaucracy and return incentive to engage in economic activity and reverse the trend that has driven all industry and ownership worth speaking of with its headquarters in Australia overseas
6. Starting with the abolition of income tax and GST ( currently 10%) to be replaced by a 0.5% credit and 0.5% debit GGST ( gifts goods and service tax to replace current 10% GST and Income Tax)
7. Remove capacity of MP's to enter parliament without having successfully and solvently run a business for seven years and or raised a family and who have contributed to society other than as a professional politician
8. Retain all existing social security and health care benefits and extend to dentistry and all other forms of treatment not just accident and emergency
9. Seawater Desalination plant irrigation to reclaim the interior by reversing antiquated ( and rather insanitary) method of water catchment by the introduction of desalination plants now that they have come of age no matter where required
10. Central plank of Tax reform is 0.5% credit and 0.5% debit GGST ( gifts goods and service tax to replace current 10% GST and Income Tax) which automatically reduces burden of tax reporting applicable to every electronic transaction retaining GST for cash transactions
11. Tax Reform remove banding and the ridiculous notion that the harder you work the higher the tax band and percentage you should have to pay - it follows that the harder you work the more you earn the more tax you pay even on the same percentage and therefore should not be penalised on such an escalating scale of disincentive as is the case currently
12. Limit maximum class sizes to 20 in primary education encourage detached learning in higher education maintain technical training for those who chose to enter the workplace. Make secondary education a real choice to those who have the ability and wish to remain in secondary education
13. Maintain and expand all work for dole programs ( 5 hours) by system whereby registered ABN holder can employ any unemployed person
14. ABN holders are the employers of 90% of the workforce in the private sector ( that pays for all of the public sector) and yet we have 40% of the population on Social Security Pension with the rest of going to education hospitals and defence all social security recipients so far as they are able should have to work voluntarily for ABN ( Australian Business Number) holders for 5 hours / week voluntarily on the part of ABN holders
15. Set up department of regeneration and fertility and fecundity to examine the causes and consequences of abortion contraception and homosexuality and its impact on the birth rate
16. Set up a study of division of the family unit through divorce and separation and the impact on offspring and economic cost to society eg disconnection and remedy eg anger management. Remedy loss of parental / sibling / avuncular guidance with informal adoption
17. Systematically dismantle the welfare industry approach to solving societies ills limiting damage in favour of a less formal approach to adoption and wards of court
18. Identify and care for elderly and include into society particularly those living alone or who are incapacitated, by system of informal adoption
19. Legal reform: Application of Bayes theorum of conditional probability to all legal procedures - standards of proof and admissibility of evidence applicable to civil and criminal processes ( making the outcome comparable to a fine) thus quantifying balance of probabilities / beyond all reasonable doubt. Training of Judges and clerks training their assistants, the Department of Public Prosecutions and extend to all pre-trial reviews, tribunals coronial hearings, commissions and enquiries to reduce that which otherwise allows 85% of crime to go undetected
20. Reduce mountain of paperwork required to employ someone as well as the mountain of paperwork required to report earnings employees might have to return eg income tax and GST in the case of employers
21. Local Government Rates are currently tied to so called unimproved value of property link to level of service to be offered by Local Authorities properly costed and democratically approved and made accountable to rate payers. Prevent increase of more than twice the rate of inflation to be considered in advance of a proposed increase and justified against measurable improvements and criterion with services available to all not just user pays
22. Reduce Welfare industry to manageable proportions
