Following their visit to Parliament House, I asked year 6 students from Strathalbyn Christian College in Geraldton what they would do if they were Prime Minister for a day. Here are some of their responses:

I would reinforce the law of no more racism so more children would have a role model to stop them being racist—Asham T

I would stop culling sharks—Seamus F

I would donate $1,000,000 to help stop Ebola and give all the homeless people $1,000 to buy food and water—Daniel J

I would aim to have a power plant that used, and made clean and healthy energy for Australia—Seamus H

I would buy houses for poor people and help all the homeless dudes out there by buying food and giving them a swag each—Tristan J

I would give money for medicine for unfortunate people—Reuben V

I would make every Monday a public holiday. I would also have short school days and longer weekends—Ryan S

If I was Prime Minister for the day, I would make every house, rental or home have a worm farm or some sort of pollution-saving thing—Jayden H

I would increase the amount of school work in schools—Patrick V

Way to go, Patrick.

I would give everyone a pony, and make one day in every year for people to go the shops and get a free roast chicken, free bread and free drinks—Charli L

I would give $100 to every school and charity. I would do everything in my power to reduce the amount of bullying and racism, and halve the amount of homework—Destiny B.

Thanks, kids. Well received—that is good advice.
