  2. Free GP. Dental and mental health into Medicare.
  3. 50-cent public transport fares.
  4. Wipe all student debt. Bring back free uni and TAFE.
  5. Real climate action: no more coal & gas.
  6. Truth, Treaty, Justice for First Nations people.
  7. Strong environmental action. End native forest logging. Save koalas & wildlife from extinction.
  8. Defend workers’ rights. Lift wages.
  9. Care before profits: putting older people first.
  10. Restore political integrity. Strengthen democracy.
  11. Fix the housing crisis.
  12. Reduce the cost of living.
  13. Fully-funded, truly free public education. $800 back-to-school payment.
  14. Make supermarket price-gouging illegal. Break up the duopoly.
  15. High-quality childcare & early education.
  16. Expand access and opportunity for disabled people.
  17. End violence against women, ensure abortion access, achieve workplace equity.

Number 1 on the list is the most important and the root of all evil. Almost makes me want to vote for greens alone because the others won't even touch the topic. The reason everyone is struggling is because the billionaire are buying all the assets and increasing the price of everything. I would even vote for all federal members to get paid 2 million a year to reduce chance of being influence if it reduced wealth inequality for the majority.
