We like to believe that we’re the nation of the “fair go” - that people who work hard can live a secure, stable, and happy life. But the country where everyone can buy a home, have a decent job, and retire at a reasonable age, is becoming further from reality.
Most people have experienced a historic fall in their living standards, and they’re afraid. They’re scared they won’t be able to pay their next round of bills, they’re anxious about their financial future, and they’re crying out for action. Australia can and must do better.
The next government must use the resources at our disposal to address the hardship people are facing and build a fairer and more sustainable future.

Every community thrives when it is empowered to make decisions and act the way it needs to meet the challenges it faces, including First Nations communities.
First Nations people’s self-determination is essential for their communities to succeed. Yet First Nations peoples have not been given the power and resources they need to set their own course, allowing the harmful impacts of colonisation and racism to continue.
When First Nations-controlled organisations are resourced and empowered to design and deliver solutions and services to meet the needs of First Nations communities, people thrive and the whole country benefits.
Use the form below to email your candidates for federal parliament and urge them to support action to deliver the funding and resourcing needed to implement reform priorities and targets under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, including through shared decision making models.
