Introduction:

Welcome to “Social Justice Australia,” where advocacy meets action.

The Journey Towards a Fairer Society

Main Issues Impacting Social Justice:

1. Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability
Australia faces severe environmental challenges, including bushfires, droughts, and coral bleaching. Aggressive renewable energy policies and conservation efforts are crucial to mitigating these impacts.

2. Economic Inequality and Job Security
The growing disparity between the rich and poor, coupled with job security concerns among youth, highlights the need for strengthened social safety nets and sustainable job creation.

Policies to increase affordable housing supply and regulate the market are needed to address Australia’s housing affordability crisis.
