Political parties in Australia should be abolished, since they actively work against the best interests of Australian citizens and fail to improve Australia for their benefit.
The clear functions of the Australian federal government should be identified, such as listed in the following document, so that the required ministerial roles in the Australian federal government (e.g. Australian Prime Minister, Australian Attorney-General, Australian Treasurer, Australian Minister for Education, et cetera) can also be identified and can be codified in the Australian Constitution.
Australian citizens should elect Australian ministers of the Australian federal government, out of existing elected Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament, to operate the Australian federal government on their behalf, instead of the elected Australian federal representative in the Australian federal parliament who is the Australian Prime Minister deciding which elected Australian federal representatives become Australian ministers of the Australian federal government, without any input from Australian citizens.
Australian ministers of the Australian federal government should each have no specific responsibility as an Australian federal representative to any individual Australian federal electorate in Australia, unlike Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament, since Australian ministers of the Australian federal government should be responsible to all Australian federal electorates, comprising all Australian citizens.
Following is a list of thirty-four (34) Australian ministers of the Australian federal government, who Australian citizens could elect, out of existing elected Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament, to operate the Australian federal government on their behalf, in order to serve their best interests and improve Australia for their benefit:
(Each of these thirty-four (34) Australian ministers of the Australian federal government could serve a term of four (4) years.
Elections of these thirty-four (34) Australian ministers of the Australian federal government could be held every five (5) weeks on a staggered basis (with a circa ten-week break from around the end of November to around the end of January) and could involve Australian citizens aged 18 years or over voting voluntarily via the internet.)

Elected Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament would therefore be potential, future Australian ministers of the Australian federal government in training, whose responsibilities in the Australian federal parliament would be to advocate on behalf of Australian citizens in their Australian federal electorates, learn how the Australian federal government (comprising Australian federal government services) operates, vote on policy and legislation proposed by Australian ministers of the Australian federal government and by Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament and assist Australian ministers of the Australian federal government, via constructive discussion in the Australian federal parliament, to serve the best interests of Australian citizens and improve Australia for their benefit.
The Australian federal government should operate a discussion forum on the internet as an Australian federal government service to Australian citizens, in order to facilitate Australian citizens making their views known about policy, legislation and issues (associated with the Australian federal government) to elected Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament and Australian federal government employees in Australian federal government services (collectively known as the Australian Public Service (APS), ideally named the “Australian Civil Service (ACS)”), as well as Australian federal representatives in the Australian federal parliament advocating effectively and efficiently in the Australian federal parliament on behalf of Australian citizens in their Australian federal electorates.
