This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Create a new Ministerial Department called the Department For a Fair Society.
New technologies could benefit everyone but instead, they are often exploited for maximum corporate profit
The DFFS should:
a) Find and support technologies that can have a revolutionary positive impact on society
b) Champion them to other government departments, the press and business groups
More details
Technology already exists that can break the vicious circle of poverty, give fair access to top quality education and healthcare, and end the exploitation of vulnerable people by unscrupulous business. Instead of trying to fix our broken economy, these technologies could be harnessed to create a new, ethical model that will not favour the rich over the poor or any other group over another.
The DFFS would lead the country, and the rest of the world, to a fairer, more inclusive model for society.
