Ok, I’ll start this one off - simple answers, assume you have supreme executive power (derived from a mandate of the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony) - it’s just for fun based on what cheeses you off. Keep it light hearted. [emoji106]
As King I’d - Ban Jet Skies.

As King I’d - Mandate at least 20 hours of a Lerners driving to be supervised by a professional and not the parents and have them all go through a mandatory advanced driver training program before they could get their licence.

I would go one step beyond that and decree that it is incumbent of the truck driver to force these superb specimens of driver awareness, off the road at the truck drivers earliest convenience.

Tried that, but I simply cannot kill dumb animals.

I'd extend that to everyone. Want to do 80? No worries, just don't do 120 in the overtaking lane and then drop back to 80 after the merge.
Pick a speed and stick to it. Maybe I'd mandate everyone use cruise control unless overtaking.

I'd ban stupid car drivers who arrange holidays 4 gazillion miles from home over a long weekend.
Does show the brains of people that drive cars and cant pass a caravan without the nomad slowing down for them..
**** me,, you get a chance to feed the world or stop wars and you worry about carvans??

Mmmm. Think of the sandwiches in the Parliament dining room.
If I was 'Queen', the first thing I'd do would be to have a nip and tuck!

Try that when the nomad is doing 80 until the overtaking lane and speeds up to 105 and you are in a speed limited truck and you’ll see. It’s illegal to increase your speed when being overtaken you know.
agree with you about the gazillion miles thing. That’s why I used to refuse to work at Easter. It’s insane.

I would mandate the "Minister for <insert industry name here>" MUST have been in a private enterprise position in that industry for a minimum of 10 years before introducing/signing off on any legislation regarding that industry.
(In this country the Minister for Transport doesnt even require a driver's licence. Go figure)

I would mandate a Television News "Update" cannot be aired unless the information is actually an "update" instead of a "repeat" of what happened in the 6pm broadcast!

I would mandate the Federal Health Minsiter explain to everyone what happened to the "Covid-safe App" from last year?

Then the kids could teach their parents howto drive...

If I ruled the world, kids would not get sick.
I mean we would still need children's hospitals for the odd broken wing or splinter caused by miss-adventures on push bikes and climbing frames but leukaemia and cancers would not be allowed.

Brother died of the L one at 9, sister died of the C ( Glioblastoma multiforme IV ) and wife of liver cancer, so I'm no fan of cancer. I would decree that they should live. But life has to end somehow. All death is tragic. All death is necessary. Who chooses?
Oops, best I shut up.. Death happened here today, and it was welcomed, but yeah, I should shut up.

Apparently nobody. Rather than decree they should live (after all, nobody gets out alive) maybe it best if it’s just always quick and painless, rather than after years of chemo and suffering.

If I was King every town would have a set of medieval punishment stocks.
Outside of every TV and radio station would be a set with multiple stocks for the rude self centred reporters and presenters.
Outside of parliament in Canberra there would also be multiple sets. Three or four for the blokes, and at LEAST ten for the screeching females!

They are only for dumb animals, and even the RSPCA has issues with that....What is the RSPCA’s view on nose rings for bulls? – RSPCA Knowledgebase (https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-does-the-rspca-think-of-nose-rings-for-pigs-and-bulls/)
