Hello Oz Bargainers,
I thought I would like to share my wishlist which is mostly based on my frustration of day to day situation.
1)Better Traffic - Its getting worse even with the multi million dollar upgrades of highway, I just can't understand for a toll highway which you pay believing that you with get a faster, better, smoother access which this is not the case in Sydney especially certain hours. Sometimes you believe the cause its accident but strangely as the traffic starts moving you realize that its just the car lining up due to something (I still can't understand there is no traffic lights)
- slow drivers on the fastlane (hate it)
- bicycle riders on peak time (usually non highway)
- Trucks with open goods on the back (which sometimes you see things on the highway and you stay a distance which you might worry a sudden break or humb will cause the goods flying at ya.
2)Schools with care: I have kids so its worrisome when you see your kids who go to school and come back tanned like they went to the beach.
- little sun smart or guide for the kids
- seen teacher wearing shades, hat and standing in the shade while a class of students (young kids) in the field (seriously?) If you know that too much sun is bad for the skin (skin cancer) you would do it to the kids? sorry to say but really brainless people.
- UV in australia can be very high at certain days which i only get it on BOM which I am sure a lot of adults would have shades on, and maybe a 50% ratio of people not aware of it (I have sensitive eyes as it really hurts my eyes without shades outside) but young kids running around the field not aware or understand about it? Thats like putting fresh water fish in the sea.
3)Cleanliness - I myself is not a super clean person however there is an extent when you sort of see things.
- throwing things out of a car> could be from a gangster looking, loud pounding music, sportscar lookalike muffler adjusted driver to a luxury german, sportscar that you can usually admire. These people just throw things our of their car - I have seen beer bottles in front of my house (sorry to hear that your rubbish bin at home is too clean to throw), maccas out of the car sometimes in front of my house, tissues, plastic bags, can drinks. I usually comment this only happens in low income areas with little of care but I take it all back I been seeing not only the young, couple, rich, freely throwing stuff right in front of my car. Sigh my mum was right to say that Sydney use to look much better 20 years ago and its true its becoming a filthy looking place with people dumping, spitting without care at all. Its hard to change a person's habit as its like a DNA built in when its embedded but dun let your kids repeat your mistake as they will be living in a dump hole in a not so distant future.
- We should have a recycling day where everyone takes part in cleaning your neighbourhood
4) MAGLEV Train! (500km per hour, thats less than 3 hrs to gold coast) - I recently drove 12 hrs to gold coast for a holiday, it was great scenery was fantastic, drivers communicating with blinkers was awesome (lol I sort of save 10s of drivers with my continuous blinkers warning), all of this is great but not so if you are driving by yourself. It would be nice to have a speedy train to travel in a few hours which you can still capture the beauty of the scenery. Just in case why not plane? I sort of dislike flying and heights. As long as the contract is not outsourced to the chinese , no offense but for the better and safety of the people.
5)Theme Parks - where is the coming soon Sydney theme parks (besides the yearly easter show which I am still puzzled why people will pay high prices for entry and pay again later on for show bags, rides, food and etc.
- I really prefer to have a dreamworld, seaworld, movieworld, anime world or game world , sega world , ghibli world which is own by disneyland, disneyland in sydney guess that wont be happening anytime soon.
6)Residential Safety - I can understand it happens in any part of the world, but wouldn't it be great to live in once upon a time in sydney which your front door can be left open, kids wondering around the front yard, going to work without a worry or sleeping in peace at night. When there is high illegal migration, unemployment, poor education,
- I sometimes wonder what does these people do during the workdays if they do not have a job and they are wondering around in their car (which i do see alot and sometimes can be worrisome for people with the mentality of short cut in earning fast cash) e.g. Recently at night I could actually hear the slowing down of the vehicles as if they are slowing down to look at your property.
- Great to have a community boom gate that stops car coming through your area e.g. 12am to 6am?
Its a simply logic if there is no job = no money = desperation = vices = jail time (if caught)
7) NBN - Please start in my area soon * thanks to the 1st comment :)
8) VIDEOGAMES - I have too many……Dear sony, nintendo microsoft since you are the major console maker. Let me help you with a marketing tip, why the hell would you put an online game pricing more expensive than your retailers have price them on the physical disc? Majority of gamers would like to have them on Disc due to collection, packaging, unable to download the game due to internet restrictions such as quota, speed and etc, but alot out there I really mean a huge majority gamers like me are running out of space and thinking probably its best just to have an account and with games that you can access on any console. Selling it cheaper like steam will make you more money than trying to sell it at full retail of a disc copy, in fact a Mario $49.99 will sell more copies than you can ever dream of vs a $89.99 nintendo wii u disc.
- A better fighting game for PS4 and Xbox One anytime soon?
Its a matter of time when there is no need of discs or consoles and it can run on any television/computer with an emulator. Maybe with a virtual headset, glove and hybrid game pad that talks back to you….hmm maybe I should be in the video game industry.
9) Australia for Australians.
Australia is huge, let them come…..
Let me explain this one, I think its quite obvious that most Australians should know that Australian property, company is mostly not own by Australians?
E.g most of this property boom is great for the real estate, government taxes and etc, majority are own by the rich chinese (not the 1 million dollar house but the multi million dollar houses), farms, livestock, dairy products are getting own by more foreign companies.
Heard of people saying its just too expensive to live in Sydney anymore I am moving north….guess what thats just a temp solution cause its a matter of time when they buy the North coast area so the outback in Ayers Rock to move to next? Scores of farms being bought by the chinese (I believe its distributed to the chinese government, rich elite) so they have a separate food stock from the ones they are feeding the rest of the majority population in their country (isn't that awesome for a communist country in disguise) but that is not the main discussion.
Its a matter of time when you see that majority of products is not made in Australia (e.g try biscuits and look at where they are made from) My choices are getting less and less everytime I look at the food shelf…it is again a matter of time when a majority of the products are made off shore, imported offshore, lifestock and dairy farm not enough to supply to local community hence price hike and more issues to come.
I used to joke with my wife that we might need to buy an extra property for our kids as it will be too expensive when they grow up and hopefully graduate in 20 years….I don't think its even possible for us to buy any more property with the rate its going up. Well the plus point is they get to live with us when they turn adults, I am a traditional family person :)
and
I believe there is not enough opportunity for brilliant australians to have their product marketed by Australians (lack of venture capitalist) so where do they go? US.
I have more but I will stick with my 9
What is your wishlist :)
Fix the youth unemployment issues — roughly a third of university graduates can't find a full time job. Abbott gov: Plug the 457 visa loophole. Stop businesses from importing workers from overseas.
Also, Malcolm Turnbull: FTTP over FTTN, please. Fiber cable is not expensive.
