8>8 Personal answerPro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions |

8>8 Personal answerYes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services |

8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
8>8 Personal answerYes, but a higher minimum wage alone is meaningless as long as cost of living remains extraordinarily high. Affordable housing and competition in insurance and energy markets would make a bigger difference. |
the Economy › Social Housing
8>8 Personal answerYes, and its scope should be widened to society as a whole instead of just the most deprived. |
the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerLower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
8>8 Personal answerNo, most people don't have access to composting and there is poor public awareness of how to recycle in addition to poor public provision of recycling bins. Fix this first instead of pointless virtue signaling. Long commutes, low wages and crowded housing makes domestic meal preparation challenging. Address this before penalising people for needing to eat food out of home. |

8>8 Personal answerFewer, current benefits do not provide enough support |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
8>8 Personal answerNo, the government should re-examine it's public health messaging and make successful appeals by addressing the concerns of the unvaccinated, however unscientifically based they may be. If the government wants people to be vaccinated it should persuade, and if necessary pay, those who refuse. |
the Environment › Fox Hunting
8>8 Personal answerNo, this is a cruel sport which should remain illegal |
the Economy › Inheritance Tax
8>8 Personal answerNo, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased |
the Economy › Water Charges
8>8 Personal answerNo, but water should not be privatised and there should be clear targets for improvements. Failure to meet these targets should result in a full refund of charges. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
8>8 Personal answerNo, this is a waste of time and money |
Crime › Defunding the Police
8>8 Personal answerNo, but high crime clusters should automatically trigger social service intervention and regeneration efforts by the government. |

8>8 Personal answerNo, but a higher cap should be implemented. |
Education › Niqāb
8>8 Personal answerNo |
