This episode explains why Australia’s current neoliberal system prioritises corporate profit over community wellbeing and how a public-purpose economy would put people and the planet first.

It outlines concrete ideas—public ownership of essential services, housing as a right, free healthcare and education, a federally funded Job Guarantee, and large-scale climate infrastructure—and explains how Australia’s monetary sovereignty makes this financing possible.

Finally, it lays out practical steps to build change: shift public narratives, support independent candidates, challenge corporate control, and organize locally to reclaim public services and create a fairer, more resilient society.
