Political Structure

Using the current political system as a basis, thought must be given to how communication is going to be made back to Parliament House in Canberra.

Idea 1:
Everyones voice is heard from each location back to Canberra

Positives:
  • Everyone that wishes to speak within Parliament would be able to speak and talk to the head / high level politicians that run Australia,
  • The ideas that are currently within each Australian's own head, and talk about with their friends can now be heard within parliament, giving the ability for better policies and organisation,
  • The everyday Australians voice would be heard and can voice their opinion.
Negatives
  • A lot of information for any system to comprehend, at any one time, there could be 20 million people in Parliament,
  • There is not enough time in the world for everyone to have their time to speak,
  • Not enough politicians to be allocated to help resolve these issues, specially if the issues are not large enough to be heard within parliament
  • There are already issues within parliament about the order that is much of the time not experienced.
Solution: A solution to these issues would be to have a range of levels of that are distinguished by the size of the issue.
Example: An idea / issue about the carbon tax scheme, could first be heard at a very low level virtual meeting room between a few smaller communities. If the idea / issue is judged as relevant and worthy, then it could be taken up to a higher level, where there are a number of regions present at the virtual meeting. If its seen as a worthy idea or the issues couldn't be dealt with, it could then be taken to a state level. Although at a higher level all the communication could be done from each representatives local parliament house, rather then every person heading to Canberra. It could then be taken as high at parliament in Canberra, a national issue.
