SIR, – Half time: A time for our health heroes to shine. Soon it will the time for rebuilders.
Full time: We all become new Australians with the rebuild that we’ll require – proper water and environment policies and wildfire-management strategy; law reform with law courts upholding the law, not re-writing them, with indigenous Australians not second-class citizens in the courts; protection for Australian intellectual property and some Australian protection for essential manufacturers; greater consumer-protection laws; a surplus of refuge housing for women and children at risk of family violence; adequate housing for the homeless; improved infrastructure; a hydrogen industry for family transport, avoiding oil imports; protecting first responders and health workers with a need to import goods to keep them safe.
Leaders who want to ‘snap back’ to old Australia should be replaced by leaders who want to take Australia into the future.
