It’s time to clean out the bureaucracy.
Australia is being over governed to death. Rather than create more government departments which the major parties always do it’s time to abolish them.
This means abolishing Federal Government departments that deal with State responsibilities.
It also means abolishing woke departments like the Multicultural and Climate change Departments.
The new Centre for Disease Control Department should not be created either. The best way to deal with pandemics is to allow people to use antibiotics. The world worked that out 100 years ago.
Less Bureaucracy means less taxes, less regulation and greater accountability.
Only PeopleFirstParty.au has a plan on what needs to be done to get Australia moving again.

ADJOURNMENT
People First
Senator RENNICK (Queensland) (20:28): Fourthly, there are a number of measures through which I want to pay for these income tax cuts. No. 1 is to remove the duplication of the bureaucrats in the state and federal bureaucracy. No. 2 is that I want to means test the defined benefits scheme. We have over 40,000 retired public servants who get over $75,000 a year. That is estimated by Finance to cost $137 billion. We have 30,000 retired public servants who get between $50,000 and $75,000 a year. That is going to cost the budget over the forward estimates and over the life of the defined benefits scheme $90 billion. Many of these people were on high salaries before they left work. They should have an assets and income test applied to them just like everyone in the private sector. It is ridiculous that multimillionaires are getting gold-plated pensions from the taxpayer, many of whom are on low incomes paying tax above $18,200.
