And then we can push for a hopeful vision for this country, one that says we can tax billionaires and big corporations, make them pay their fair share in tax and use that to do things like bring dental and mental health for everyone into Medicare so no-one has to skip a meal just so they can fund their kid's trip or their trip to the dentist.

We can bring back free university and TAFE so working people in this country can go to university without fear of copping tens of thousands of dollars in student debt. We can tax billionaires and big corporations to build enough public housing in this country so everyone has the home that they need to live a good life, just like people in Australia used to. We can start to bring the energy system back into public hands so we don't have private energy companies ripping us off on our power bills to make massive profits. We can follow Norway and tax our gas industry properly, take that billions of dollars in wealth that is currently going offshore and put it into our country right now to do things like raise the pension above the poverty line, raise Jobseeker and other income support payments above the poverty line, and make sure everyone in this country has a good life. That's what we're fighting for.
