Sick of politicians? Sustainable Australia party is who you're looking for. William Bourke is eminently sensible. Dick Smith joined. The anti-corruption fighter who wrote "Game of Mates" Dr Cameron Murray is running for them too. http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au/qld http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au/qld

Unfortunately, Dick Smith's reputation has been somewhat tainted by getting involved with a racist national disgrace: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/08/17/hanson-dick-smith-meet-over-capping-immigration http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/08/17/hanson-dick-sm...

  Somewhat, although he backed away from One Nation after Pauline wore a Burka in parliament. It's a shame the media has conflated any discussion of an immigration policy with racism (ie because of One Nation) Dick's not running though, so checkout the candidates and party, they are academics and scientists for the common good.

  They're much more than a single issue party :) - Stop undemocratic privatisation - Establish an independent Federal commission against corruption - Require more timely disclosure of political donations - Invest more in renewable energy - Moratorium on all fracking - No new casinos - Prioritise public transport funding over new tollways - Lower immigration from its record level (over 200,000 p.a.) back to the long term average of 70,000 p.a. - Tackle global population growth through increased foreign aid for female education and universal access to contraception - Establish major community product repair and recycle centres Public Assets http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au/public_assets_utilities/ http://www.sustainableaustralia.org.au/public_assets_utiliti...
