Replace communist officials with unionists chosen. The DLP policy in detail.  The Democratic Labor Party policy speech was delivered last night by Senate candidate Mr. Jim Brosnan. These are edited highlights in the speech: Industrial unrest. The industrial unrest that has plagued Australia for the past five years, will never be reduced except through the application of the following programme by active trade unionists, supported by the Government of the day. Replacement of communist of officials’ unionists by genuine unionists acting through court-control ballots. Encouragement for them to do so through changes to union rules by government legislation. Enforcement of THC and ACTU rules to ensure that all disputes come under proper control.  Productivity wage. Wages must be related to economic capacity of the country and the logical course is to establish a scientific measurement of productivity as the basis of wage fixation. This would ensure, for skilled and unskilled workers, their due share of increasing real wealth. The objective of a Federal wage policy should be the preservation and growth of the real wage, in accordance with productivity increases. A productivity wage would sever the present link between price rises and wage rises and establish a direct link between the money wage and productivity changes. The effects of the productivity wage will be: wages will be linked with productivity directly through adjustments according to a productivity index. Wage adjustments may be made more frequently than the periodical hearings of the Arbitration Courts. The excessive cost of Arbitration Court proceedings will be reduced. Court hearings will be necessarily only to consider alterations to the principles of wage fixing or anomalies or changed circumstances of work.  Work-leisure. The D.L.P wants a policy which would allow additional pay for annual leave, substantially increased long service leave and increased leisure for workers in the latter part of their working life. It would be financed out of levy on industry and include the option of an early retirement without economic loss.  Job participation. Boards of directors of large private and public companies normally elected by and from a company's shareholders, should be expanded to include elected representatives from the company's employees, preferably through the medium of works councils. Further, when companies engage in the production of goods affecting public safety, health and welfare, its board of directors should be again expanded to include a representative of the appropriate consumer organisation. All factories and places of employment employing more than 20 employees should be encouraged to set up works councils.  Technology. Employers ought to he required by State and Commonwealth legislation to give notice of proposals to introduce technological changes. Such legislation should provide that no substantial changes affecting the economy of any geographical area and number of workers can be introduced without government approval.  Retrenchment. The D.L.P calls on each state to establish a retrenchment redundancy fund. The fund would be administered by a board of trustees, composed of equal representation from employer groups, trade unions/ associations and State Parliament. The trustees would be elected from each group under a system of proportional representation for a term of five years. Companies would contribute annually by instalment, an amount determined by the board for each employee on their payroll. Payments to retrenched would be based on a formula decided upon by the trustees but would not be less than two weeks’ pay equivalent to the average award earnings for the previous quarter, for each year of service.  Uranium. The D.L.P supports the decision by the Fraser Government on uranium, for reasons outlined in our many published statements.  Solar energy. Full-scale research and development of solar power should be undertaken as this energy source is abundant in Australia and provides clean energy. The DLP would substantially increase the funds in this area with the aim of making solar power our major energy source- initially for low-grade heat and transportation and in the long term for the production of electricity.  Defence. Although it is not possible to fix a precise percentage of GNP for defence spending which must be adhered to for all time, the extent of Australia’s lag is such that we should aim to quickly move to at least five per cent of GNP and maintain that level until the backlog of neglect is eliminated.  Pacific alliance. The DLP strongly advocates a regional alliance of non-communist nations known as the Pacific Confederation. A Pacific Confederation is the political entity through which social, economic and military aid to the nations of the area can be challenged.  Refugees. The DLP is concerned that the Government has failed to honor its expressed intention to establish an ongoing refugee resettlement programme. We call on the Federal Government to take immediate steps to implement such a programme.  Inflation. Prices rises will be controlled by outlawing price increases which flow from consent agreements entered into by employers, establishing a fair prices commission and reviewing tariff assistance to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of economy through sensible tariff levels.  Education. The DLP calls for a Royal Commission, into all aspects of education in Australia, with a view of the establishment of a national standard of teaching instruction and training that will enable our children throughout the nation to emerge from our schools ready for life as well as for livelihood.  Environment. The DLP calls on the Federal Government Commission to appoint an Australian Environment Commission to oversee and co-ordinate research and action of the preservation of resources and the protection of the environment.  Media. The DLP aims to introduce cable TV for everyone via the Telecommunications Statutory Corporation. It would not be restricted to conventional TV programmes. However, decentralised areas and areas marked for accelerated growth will receive priority. Vigorous action should be taken to raise the standards of children television.  Aborigines. The DLP supports the integration of the Aboriginal people into the total community and the improvement of their social and economic conditions. Suitable programmes of Aboriginal advancement, including the appropriate form of land tenure, will be stepped up in co-operation with the States.  Rural policy. The Australian Meat Board should be restructured as a Federal Meat Marketing Authority and smash any collusion that exists between stock agents, processors and unions. Wool growers should be protected from currency fluctuations by the Wool Board adjusting the returns of the growers to a maximum average rate.
