Improve Our Nation of 2012
Rationale
For too long, our policies on gambling, child labour, public transport, foriegn land ownership, and tobacco and vaping have been outdated! Gambling is a bad vice, and legalisation has bad effects on our people. Its ok for 16 year olds to work, it builds skill as long as its regulated. And more!
