temporary visa holders in Australia which numbers over 2 million. Other positions Rennick has been a long term advocate of reforming the federation; government building and retaining profit making infrastructure such as dams, ports and electricity power plants; sustainable immigration to ensure quality of life for all Australians; higher taxes on profits sent offshore; and he has called on universities to underwrite the costs of education. Rennick opposes the closing of maternity wards by the state government in regional Queensland and has called on the state government to improve maternity health outcomes. Rennick is also opposed to the adoption of poker machines in the state of Queensland. He consequently has accused the Labor state government of being "utterly incompetent and morally corrupt". He also spoke about having a constitutional convention to clearly define and separate the responsibilities of the Federal and State Governments in the federation: "It is time for COAG to hold a constitutional convention to clearly define and separate these responsibilities with proposed changes put to a referendum." There is no reference to a "constitutional convention" in the Australian constitution, and any such convention could do little more than recommend policy to be bought through to the normal referendum process.
