PUBLIC MONEY.
PUBLIC GOOD.

Our modern economy can always afford essential services, wellbeing, and quality of life for everyone.
The public money of the Commonwealth of Australia must be used to enable our collective material, social and existential well-being.
Our currency can and should mobilise resources that are required for our fundamental human rights. Free and first-class healthcare, free education, a socially acceptable wage, secure meaningful employment, sufficient, safe and secure housing, fair access to transport, the right to public commons and the right to belong in society are our fundamental human rights. The Commonwealth can fund these essentials sufficiently and indefinitely without risk of financial instability or insolvency.
There is an alternative to the destructive path we are on. We face the escalating and causally entangled crises of entrenched inequality, persistent manufactured insecurity, destruction of our ecosphere pending imminent ecological collapse, intentional destruction of public trust, growing misplaced distrust of public institutions and rise of authoritarianism. Yet, we have a clear choice to help avoid these multiple catastrophes.
We cannot wait any longer for the wellbeing we deserve in our society.
Join us if you are a committed individual, union, social justice movement, community organisation, work in social services and anyone who knows that we deserve better. This group will lobby politicians and build a network of organisations.
Let’s demand Public Money for the Public Good.

PUB NIGHTS!
We have regular meet ups in the following captial cities. Our pub meetups are a way to keep the conversation going outside our regularly scheduled events about why we need a better world.
Also a chance to talk about radical economic theories, how to save the world, debate politics, or share crazy ideas.
Partners, friends and co-conspirators welcome.
We hope to add other cities and regions to our growing list. If you are interested, please email us! (email below)
Always the last Friday of the month, next meet up is Friday 31 July 2026
Canberra – King O’Malleys Irish Pub (Canberra city)
