Why I Created Social Justice Australia
I entered the workforce in 1957, when governments invested in public housing, apprenticeships, education and secure employment. Over the following decades, I watched many of those opportunities disappear.
My later work as a counsellor taught me that problems blamed on individuals are often caused by government policies and economic systems.
I created Social Justice Australia to explain how these systems work and explore practical ways to build a fairer, more democratic nation.

What is Social Justice Australia?
It is an independent advocacy website providing research‑backed articles and resources to advance social justice and political reform.
Why is Australia's dollar Sovereignty important for social justice and national wellbeing?
Australia’s dollar sovereignty means the federal government issues its own currency—the Australian dollar. Unlike households, it can never “run out” of money. This allows the government to fund essential services like healthcare, housing, education, and infrastructure without relying on taxes or borrowing in a foreign currency.
Emphasising dollar sovereignty is vital because it empowers Australia to prioritise people’s needs over austerity. When used responsibly, it supports social justice by ensuring public money builds a fairer, more equitable society for all.
What are the major social justice issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia?
