Can we do this? The Government Convince the government to support the need for a National Identity based on the beliefs, values and guidelines of the well documented “Fair Dinkum Aussie Spirit”. If Yes ...then convince both sides of Government and the Senate to utilise all their resources to make this a National Program commencing with themselves basing all their decision making and in house behaviour also on these FDAS values. Education Commence a National Education Program in Day Care Centres, Infant, Primary & Secondary Schools to teach all children what it means to be an “aussie” and have fair dinkum aussie spirit. This fits perfectly inside the PD/H /PE Syllabus from K -10 and can easily be adapted to the curriculum of all other subjects. But when teaching these aspects in the curriculum always refer back to how this what a fair dinkum aussie does. Eg If you find a wallet ....hand it back...be honest ...have empathy That is what a fair dinkum aussie does! Eliminate Childhood Poverty Identify the Gross Annual Income for a family to be under the under the poverty line eg $20,000 PA and assist all those below it by also calculating the cost for a child to have the normal benefits and activities inside our school system which is somewhere between $700 - $1100 PA. According to the major Charity Associations there are around 1.2 million children growing up below the poverty line thus requiring an initial annual grant of around $700 million ($100 per tax payer PA) to be paid direct to schools to support these children directly from the extra school funds. The families receive no money direct but present invoices approved by the school as necessary expenses while the school pays for excursions, uniforms, sporting trips, camps, special interest lessons etc; Now that is what we call fair dinkum!!
