Too many stupid people thinking they deserve an opinion....
If you could wave a magic wand and solve just one issue that negatively impacts our society what would it be?
Boat people, our changing culture, denegration of values, lack of respect for authority, the welfare mindset, unemployment, bad parenting.........
No one would regularly use it though as the distances in Australia are too big. Everyone would still fly and we would be left with this massive massive bill.Might be easier to build a bridge to PNG and then a road from there to the Indonesian side of the island.
My suggestion, (after we complete the NBN) would be to have a national railway network, all of the same guage. From Cairns to Melbourne, from Sydney to Perth, Perth to Port Hedland - and as many places as possible in between. Cut transport costs and defeat the trynnany of distance.
The seeds were sown last century? Do you know much about human history. It has been non stop war.Humans war mongering. The seeds were sown way back in the early part of last century when economies went to oil so to be better at war.

I would ensure everyone has a basic understanding of economics and ethics. I necessity in a system where everyone gets a vote. Make it mandatory in schools and force everyone who wants to vote to take a basic non graded course.
Most of what people are posting here involve taking away human free will. Nothing is worth taking away human free will.
Ah my mistake. I agree, the trucking companies have too much control on freight in Australia.I meant for freight not passengers. We shift so much stuff by truck, if we can migrate long haul freight traffic to rail it would be much more efficient and economical.
Um you were talking about seeds being sown last century. Pretty sure we have been here for well over 200 years. The aboriginals were also no more peaceful than any other civilisations.Who's history? In this country there was relitive peace for thousands of years, you obviously don't know our history.
human rights are a luxury of a tolerant, peacefull, affluent and compassionate society and not something that you strive for,introduce or legislate. A peacefull, tolerant, affluent and compassionate society is what you should always strive for and then and only then will human rights become a reality.
The stifling mediocrity of our political class
The failure of excellence
The death of reason and reasoning
End war.
I dont give a toss about anything you list there by the way.
The fact that whilst we continually talk about building a better future our actions say we only care about now.
That and hypocrites like Dick Smith
It is kinda annoying me how many boats are coming these day, and with people who are jumping through perfectly good safe countries to make their last trip to the Welfare state that is Australia. They have clearly done their researching in shopping for a new country and are looking for the best deal, not a "free life of persecution" which so many of them bang on about. There are so many war free countries between us and them which they travel through that they could migrate to! JMO
So if you could change one thing about society, you would stop a thousand or so refugees (and the odd economic migrant) coming to Australia by boat?
War, genocide, child poverty, a cure for cancer etc not even register?
What???? Random reply!
The thread title was 'the single biggest issue affecting our society'.
And you went with stopping refugees/ boat arrivals?
It what concevable way is that even close to the single biggest issue facing society?
Oh, got you...I was just commenting in response to other posts. Forgot the thread title. My bad
War seems to be coming out as a strong contender, however, is war the key issue in itself or the symptom of other major issues eg; greed?End war.
