Why I Created Social Justice Australia
I have spent more than sixty years watching Australia change.
When I entered the workforce as an apprentice fitter in 1957, governments invested heavily in public housing, education, apprenticeships and secure employment. Over the following decades, I watched many of those opportunities disappear as political and economic priorities changed.
My later work as a counsellor, together with studies in Psychology and Counselling, convinced me that many personal struggles are shaped not only by individual circumstances but also by public policy.
Social Justice Australia grew from my lifelong search to understand why these changes occurred and what practical alternatives could help build a fairer, more democratic and sustainable Australia.
I hope these articles encourage thoughtful discussion and inspire practical solutions for a fairer Australia.

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?
Key issues include historical injustices, equal rights and opportunities, and cultural heritage recognition for Indigenous Australians.
