WE are advocating for a Federal Convention to streamline the duplication of roles and responsibilities of State and Federal Governments which is costing taxpayers billions of dollars every year.

Australia does not need two Education Departments, two Environment departments and so on. Not only is this a burden on the taxpayer, it creates unnecessary and ambiguous regulation that severely impacts productivity.

People First is also advocating to means-test the gold-plated pensions of retired white-collared bureaucrats which is also costing taxpayers billions of dollars every year.

The Department of Finance estimated the undiscounted cost of this largesse was approximately $340 billion for 165,000 retired bureaucrats. This means that on average each retired bureaucrat will receive over $2 million each in retirement.

We will also reevaluate subsidies for renewables and seek to eliminate wasteful government spending.

International travel for bureaucrats other than diplomats will be banned without approval from Parliament.
