Future to Fight For Campaign (F2F4)
Our surveys have shown strong support for the F2F4 policies, established some community priorities and listened to people sharing their stories, for example
- Alice, a disability pensioner with the good fortune of an inherited home but no no funds for recreational activities and has to go without food at times to pay for medicines etc.
- Mike, unemployed since losing his business due to ill health, very focused on managing his expenses and worried about affording a nursing home for his mother.
- Name not supplied, life unravelled after an accident and now sleeps in his car.
The strong message from the community was
- Parents should know that, no matter what their life circumstances, their children will have access to the early education and care they need to get the best start in life.
- All education and retraining should be free, universal, and accessible throughout the entirety of a person’s life.
- Access to stable, affordable housing - connected to public transport, schools, and good jobs - should be a non-negotiable government guarantee.
