Goals
Our ultimate goal is to see a federal government that has clearly defined responsibilities and have local (regional) councils that serve their local communities. This will mean there is no political blame shifting and billions saved on unnecessary administration and bureaucracy.
If the Labor or Liberal parties successfully stole our idea to fix up the nation, at least our goal would still be met. The Australian People's Party doesn't see gaining parliamentary power as an end in itself. We want real change for real Australian people.
We want to raise awareness of the current system and shine a light on all of its inefficiencies and where it is not effective in meeting the needs for Australia. Here are our goals:
Goal 1: To become registered as a political party in Australia by getting at least 500 members.
Goal 2: To run an effective election campaign so every voting Australian knows who we are and how we plan to fix our country.
Goal 3: To hold the balance of power in at least one of the Federal Houses of Parliament.
Goal 4: Let the Australian voters decide if they want state governments via a national referendum.
Goal 5: If the referendum is successful then start to implement reforms so Australia has only two levels of government rather than three.
How a new federation will look without the state governments:
The table below describes the current situation for almost every portfolio where the states and federal government share power and responsibility, e.g Education, Health, Community Services, Water, Environment, Infrastructure and Attorney General.

To explain the table above in detail, consider education:
Each of the six states and two territories have their own public service department. The head of the Department of Education in each state reports to the state minister of education. They meet with the federal education minister. The federal education department also reports to the federal education minister.
In five years time the state education departments will report to the federal minister of education. So to will the federal education department representative.
In ten years time the federal and the state education departments will merge. All will become Australian Public Servants. The head of that department will report with the minister. There will be NO job losses for teachers, state or federal public servants during this transition time.
There will be a national curriculum for all Australian school students. There will be one university entry system that applies to every university in Australia. There will be one set of teaching standards. This will enable teachers and students to move inter state with minimal change needed.
For more education policies.
The above example applied for teaching, but it could easily apply to hospitals, the police force, roads and business regulations.
The change can be as slow or as fast as Australians are ready for.
