From my point of view there are a lot of things I would like to change about his country, most of which have been mentioned above, but there are a lot of things I wouldnt change for the world.
Considering this country is made up so such an ethnically diverse culture its doing quite well. Legislation has to be written to cater for everyone fairly and its definitely not an easy task. This doesnt explain away many of this country's faults, but it puts our country in a different light.
Things I would change are:
-Pollies who are interested in the short term (i.e. their term in office) who sell off our resources/aussie owned companies to the highest bidder.
-A police service that has almost no power to protect, only to punish
-the ratio of import to export so that we are more independent and our dollar returns to what it was like in the 60's (the most powerful currency in the world)
-An education system that teaches more 'real world' skills and can be customised to focus on any key area a student wants to pursue (no class teaches you how to run a household, to be smart with your money, or plan for the future)
-A government that stop trading off our natural resources i.e. reserves, national parks in search of the almighty dollar from land developers
-as Australia is reaching is population limit we need to maintain our population around 20 million. The reason for this is that settlers built on the only arrible land this country has to offer. So we can only support a certain number of people, and considering the state of water restrictions only proves the point. We live on the driest continent on earth, and although we are changing the way we handle water consumption it proves we are reaching the limit of people we can comfortably have living here.
