How should Australia rank all of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on the basis of their importance? You can reorder the list or categorize as "most important", "medium" and "least important".

Here is the list of SDGs.
(1) No Poverty,
(2) Zero Hunger,
(3) Good Health and Well-being,
(4) Quality Education
(5) Gender Equality
(6) Clean Water and Sanitation
(7) Affordable and Clean Energy
(8) Decent Work and Economic Growth
(9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
(10) Reduced Inequality
(11) Sustainable Cities and Communities
(12) Responsible Consumption and Production
(13) Climate Action
(14) Life Below Water
(15) Life On Land
(16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
(17) Partnerships for the Goals.

Current:
(1) No Poverty,
(2) Zero Hunger,
(3) Good Health and Well-being,
(4) Quality Education
(5) Gender Equality
(6) Clean Water and Sanitation
(7) Affordable and Clean Energy
(8) Decent Work and Economic Growth
(9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
(10) Reduced Inequality
(11) Sustainable Cities and Communities
(12) Responsible Consumption and Production
(13) Climate Action
(14) Life Below Water
(15) Life On Land
(16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
(17) Partnerships for the Goals.

I would rank it as:
(1) No Poverty,
(2) Zero Hunger,
(6) Clean Water and Sanitation
where
(4) Quality Education
(8) Decent Work and Economic Growth
(9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
(7) Affordable and Clean Energy
contribute or are subsets to the 1st three. The fastest way to eliminate poverty and reduce the effects of climate change is to invest in industry in developing nations fast. Give them stable incomes to become 1st world nations.

(5) Gender Equality is contributed to with proper education access, giving many girls access to resources and support to escape slavery, abuse, acid attacks etc.

(14) Life Below Water is more important than general climate change, because water and the oceans is what controls so much of the global climate.

Everyone is concentrating on carbon emissions but sleeping on commercial overfishing and dumping of rubbish and toxic chemicals from manufacturing into river systems leading to the ocean.
We already have micro-plastics within us because the fish we catch and eat contain micro-plastics.

(10) Reduced Inequality is too broad. Doing the above will reduce inequality.

(15) Life On Land
(16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
are both really important. The world is going to either enter WW3 with this rapid inflation or enter a series of prolonged wars/conflicts similar to the 30 years war etc. through history.
And they are going to fight over water and food and production resources and energy like oil. We have to be careful not to encourage unneccesary bloodshed.
