The Australian Model

Australia is implementing OMXUS as a parallel governance system, designed to eventually replace traditional political structures.

Overview

Key Reforms

1. 50% Work Hours

OMXUS token holders in Australia commit to a maximum 20-hour work week. This isn't unemployment—it's liberation.

Why it works:

• Technology has made most work unnecessary
• "Busy work" exists to justify employment
• People need time for governance, family, creativity
• Quality of work improves with less quantity

Implementation:

• Employers must accommodate part-time arrangements
• Basic income supplements reduced wages
• Community contribution replaces some paid work

2. Drug Legalization

All recreational substances are legal for OMXUS token holders. This isn't promotion—it's autonomy.

Principles:

• Adults own their bodies
• Prohibition creates crime, not safety
• Harm reduction beats criminalization
• Personal choices aren't community decisions

Safeguards:

• Education programs for informed choices
• Treatment available on request
• No driving or public intoxication
• No sales to non-token-holders (children)

3. Direct Policy Voting

Every policy decision goes to a token vote. No politicians filter or interpret citizen intent.

Process:

1. Any token holder can propose a policy
2. Proposals require 100 co-sponsors to reach vote
3. Local meetings discuss before voting opens
4. 7-day voting period, one token = one vote
5. Simple majority enacts policy

4. ViewSwap Accountability

If a policy causes problems for someone that persist more than 7 days, they can invoke ViewSwap against policy supporters.

How it works:

1. Person experiencing hardship files ViewSwap request
2. Random supporter of the policy is selected
3. Both parties must swap life circumstances for 30 days
4. If swap is refused, policy is automatically repealed

Geographic Implementation

Regions

Australia is divided into governance regions based on population:

Local Councils

Each council covers approximately 3,000-5,000 token holders and meets:

• Weekly: Open discussion sessions
• Monthly: Formal voting sessions
• Quarterly: Regional coordination meetings

Transition Timeline

Phase 1: Parallel System (Current)

• OMXUS operates alongside government
• Token holders follow OMXUS rules voluntarily
• Government retains legal authority

Phase 2: Recognition

• Government formally recognizes OMXUS decisions
• Conflicts resolved in favor of token-holder consensus
• Traditional voting becomes advisory

Phase 3: Replacement

• OMXUS becomes primary governance system
• Traditional government handles international relations only
• Full direct democracy achieved

FAQ

Q: Can I still work full-time? A: Yes, but you won't have time for governance participation. The 50% commitment ensures everyone can engage.

Q: What if I disagree with a policy? A: Vote against it. If it passes and harms you, invoke ViewSwap.

Q: Is this legal? A: OMXUS operates as a voluntary community agreement. Australian law doesn't prohibit self-governance.

Q: How do I get basic income without working? A: The OMXUS community fund, supported by productivity gains from technology, provides for all members.
