The winner:
Decriminalise marijuana possession for individual use, and ideally legalise, regulate, and tax marijuana as a legitimate product and cash crop, as with cigarettes, alcohol and caffeine. This would lower crime levels (especially organised), relieve burden on police, and provide a significant new revenue source for the goverment.

Runner up:
Mandate that all government and public institutions and offices switch to open and non-proprietary software and formats where available. Not only would this save millions of dollars in licensing fees each year, but it would also unshackle us from effective software monopolies such as Microsoft which practice consumer and vendor lock-in.

Examples: Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office, Ubuntu Linux instead of Windows. Important, and embedded in the use of OpenOffice, is the switch to an open document format, so that students and staff are not personally locked into Microsoft by proxy due to their school or employer.

Also important:
Rebuke the fuck out of the secret and undemocratic ACTA 'treaty': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement

Change the form of government from a Constitutional Monarchy, into a Socialist Republic. (Don't conflate a socialist republic with pure marxism).

No. I think Kevin Rudds more of a third way guy. But then again you have the American attitude that anything to the left of you is a leftist without considering that you may be extreme right.
