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.

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.
