Creating a Sustainable Sunshine Coast - Nambour to Mooloolah

My dream budget in no particular order, as the brain turns...

Grants and loans for individuals and communities to develop their own food production at the local level.

A commitment to community housing - no person should be on the street unless they choose to be there.

A commitment to agricultural and manual arts education.

A re-priotitizing of infrastructure development funds from road and air to rail and sea. This includes the establishment of solidifying not only the major seaports, but also boosting the number and quality of the minor ones across Australia.

A commitment to water.

A commitment to the "greenstream" energy technologies. We always talk about "alternative" energy as being solar, wind, geo, wave, etc. Well, this mindset needs to change, dagnammit! Many of the technologies are here, waiting to be implemented! These ain't alternatives, these are ECONOMICALLY VIABLE, , ENERGY-PRODUCING ENTITIES.

Make the energy playing-field equal! Subsidize the greenstream tech to the same level as the polluters, or cut the subsidization to the polluters!

A commitment to small-business enterprises that are willing to take on and meet the challenges of the new economy with creative and/or long-lost ideas and solutions.

A commitment to simplification of the rules of co-operative enterprises.

A commitment to innovation and invention.

A commitment to bartering.

A commitment to the farmers. These men and women are, I believe, being taken for granted by Government and by us as citizens. They need our help. Without the farmers, well...I suggest that you look into how "civilization" was formed in the first place.

Peace in our communities.
