Change the law of different sex siblings being allowed to share a bedroom
The law regarding different sex siblings sharing a bedroom hasn't been updated since 1935!! This needs reviewing immediately. I doubt everyone in government would allow their child to sleep in the living room if you only had a 2 bedroom house and a child of each sex.
