“It will be important to bring back dedicated units with specialised officers and detectives who develop experience in dealing with specific kinds of crime.

It is important that the police get back to working more closely with the public to make the public a partnerin fighting crime.”View in manifesto (PDF page 10)

“A prosperous economy with less debt is the essential ingredient that will allow us to secure the aspirations we have for ourselves, our families and our country. A PA government will create opportunities that will boost productivity to secure greater prosperity and build more 21st-century infrastructure. TAXATION AND GRANTS The rich must bear the brunt of taxation. However, they should not be taxed so heavily that they would not be prepared to establish businesses. The poor should also try to contribute to their municipalities for the sake of their own dignity. People living below the poverty line should be supported by government.”View in manifesto (PDF page 19)
“Therefore, public procurement must become more competitive and the state must get more bang for its buck than is currently the case, where municipalities and other arms of government can count themselves lucky if they are being charged only double for what they might pay for something on the open market. BLOCKCHAIN - an encrypted system of records rendered impossible to hack and alter by spreading information across multiple servers - must be introduced in procurement across the public sector as a deterrent to corruption through making procurement records permanent, transparent and available for realtime auditing to the public.”View in manifesto (PDF page 20)
“Preventing the loss of water and recovery of payments for services will turn the tide of ongoing losses and return our towns and cities to recording surpluses for the provision of services and the repayment of debts. The industrial sector, including mining, is responsible for massive use of water, often with terms of use and access that are not clearly defined. It is critical that government more proactively engage with industry to ensure that water (especially acid mine drainage) be used and re-used in such a way that the country's water supply is not threatened, and is improved.”View in manifesto (PDF page 30)
