Obviously it is hard to summarise complex issues, but here goes.
1.The reduction in senators' numbers was a prelude to fundamental reform, as the office could become untenable with the move (also in the Law) to a single period of office (4 years). I want a move to larger constituencies and a single type of member. It's crazy that one office is "more democratic" than others.
2. Would suport lifting of compusory retirement.
3. Yes, but population control is not a precise science!
4. A person who will promote inclusive government.
5. Yes
6. Exemptions must be re-visited.
7. (a). No.
7. (b). More inclusivity.
8. Yes.
9. much more emphasis on succession planning.
10. i don't want cutting for cutting's sake. I would expect proper efficiency reviews.
11. Yes, Soc. sec. should remain hypothecated, but it depends on how/whether we can reform broader tax system.
