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.
