Getting Australia back to work

They will, for example, repaint or renovate or expand public buildings, improve and extend civic gardens, upgrade sporting facilities, build more walkways, repair gutters, upgrade hygiene of public toilets and cooperate with State Governments in doing similar work at schools and hospitals etc.

Especially, they can remove and destroy all plastic from the land and water of our continent.

This initiative is limited only by our imagination and our ability to quickly plan and organise projects.

A minimum of 100 billion dollars will be needed to achieve this but it will mean that we will have first class public assets all over Australia as the result of creating employment rather than increasing welfare handouts. This cost would replace the extension of some of the current stimulus packages.

While this project is underway, it will be vital to use the time to have major infrastructure projects become ‘shovel ready’.

Then we can create an Australia that ‘makes things’ again in the same way as we became self-sufficient as a manufacturer in World War 2 before globalisation destroyed those skills.

Pollution

Covid19 has occurred because we have all irresponsibly polluted our world for a long time.

An initial initiative can be to create policies that must be urgently implemented to remove personal pollution from Australia.

Standards must be legislated ensuring that all buildings, especially homes, and every vehicle of every type, are free of pollution, including air, water & energy usage.

Small government grants will be needed to help those on lower incomes and operators of small business to meet these new standards.

This will create more employment.
