Fightback 2.0 - The Complete Blueprint
Fighback 2.0 - The Platform
As the old saying goes, “Anything we can actually do, we can afford.”
We have the technology.
We have the resources.
We can rebuild.
We have the capability to create sufficiency—a society where every person has what they need, not just to survive, but to live well.
We need a fresh vision—one that swaps narrow business interests for our common interests as citizens. We need to remind ourselves that the economy exists to serve us, not the other way around.
Fightback 2.0 - The Mechanics
How the System Works for You
We don’t wait for the market to drip-feed the future; we build it.
This is how the new machinery of government works when we choose sufficiency over scarcity.
FB 2.0 - The Stories from The New Australia
This book is the narrative companion to Fightback 2.0: The Platform and Fightback 2.0: The Mechanics.
Instead of leading with numbers, laws, and institutions, it starts with people and places you might recognise:
families in the rental squeeze,
workers between jobs,
students and carers,
coal‑town communities, small businesses, and
farmers on the “outer rim”.
Each chapter takes one of the big Fightback policies and shows what it means on the ground—how it changes a week, a year, a lifetime.
The core idea is simple: policy is about lived experience.
A Job Guarantee is not just a labour‑market instrument; it’s a path from the “dole queue” to meaningful work for someone like Liam or Marianne.
A Household Energy Guarantee is not just a tariff design; it’s whether Rita can keep her kids warm without skipping meals.
A Just Transition for the Land is not just an agriculture strategy; it’s about whether the McKenzie family can stay on Country while healing their soil and water.
