Make the Separation of Church and State legally official.
I am in full support in having freedom to choose your religion (or irreligion), but other than that, I wish it didn't play any role in politics. The government shouldn't reward or punish anyone based on their beliefs, and politicians shouldn't let their religious beliefs influence policymaking (especially if those beliefs are discriminatory).
Outside of politics, be religious if you want, or be irreligious if you want. It should be your choice, and your business.

Penalties based on wealth. I read a quote once which basically said "A penalty is just the price to do illegal work for the rich."
No parking area and the fine is 10$? No problem, we'll just pay 10$ later.
Instead penalties based on wealth should be introduced.
For example, if a person earns only 100$ then their fine should be 0.1$. And if someone earned 10,000$ then the fine should be 10$. If someone is a millionaire, fine is 1000$. Billionaire? 1,000,000$.
I think this already exists in some country (Finland?) But it should be applied everywhere.

I can't think of any completely new laws, but there are a few that are being considered in Australia already that I support. The first two I will actually get to vote on in an upcoming referendum which make me happy. That first nations people should be recognised in the constitution and that there should be a national Aboriginal voice to parliament. The other one I won't vote on because it is already law in my state, but I want to become a nation-wide law is the banning of gay conversion therapy.

You should have to take a common sense test to have a child.... Or maybe own a puppy first (without letting it die) before you're allowed to have children

That a woman would be able to make her own medical decisions. its been 140+(thousands) years of trying to get people in power to realize that we are more than stupid breeding stock. How dare they have the power to do that. What's next? back to seperate water fountains?
Viagra is more dangerous than the abortion pill. Lets get rid of that.

Term limits for politicians. Limit to two terms for any office, state or federal. That would limit to two years in the House, two in the Senate and two in the White House for a total of 24 years. Also, term limits for SCOTUS justices. 20 years max.

Businesses can't charge more than 20 times what it cost them- if it's a necessity like food, water, or medical supplies, then it can't be over 10 times.

Politicians can only become a minister for a department if they have experience or related degrees for the stuff they are responsible for.
Example: Want to lead the Ministry for Agriculture? Better been either 10 years in charge of a farm prior to the election or own a degree in biology, ecological engineering, etc. that gives a deeper understanding of agriculture.

I know it could lead to abuse through personal bias and/or catering to lobbies and that would require more indepth follow up laws - but still better than having people in charge that have no clue what they are suppossed to do because they don't know jack about the resort they are in charge of.
