Struggling with rising costs is a real issue and shared by many. Many are resorting to second jobs just to make ends meet, while corporate profits soar.6

With rents skyrocketing and housing affordability hitting record lows, an increasing number of people are turning to house sharing or facing the grim prospect of homelessness. All while big businesses – from Coles and Woolworths, to Origin Energy and Qantas – are raking in record profits by charging us unusually high prices amid the cost-of-living crisis.7,8

But the system is rigged against everyday people. Decades of poor economic policies and corporate power have created and worsened these inequalities, making it harder for many to simply survive, much less thrive.

Here's what we're fighting for:
  • A strong safety net: Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We need more social and public housing for those in need and to remove corporate investors from the housing market.
  • Affordable food: Let's break up the supermarket duopoly and make food prices fair for everyone. We need legislation that stops big supermarkets from holding all the power.
  • Fair energy prices: No one should have to choose between staying warm and paying the bills. We need strict regulations to keep energy companies in check and ensure affordable energy for all.
While corporate greed and decades of failed policies are significant challenges – it's something our million-strong movement of people has the power to tackle head on.

It starts with people power, all of us taking action and changing the conversation together.
