Our Will, Our Way – Australia’s Future

Australia is one of the few countries to have voted itself into existence. We achieved Federation – one people, one destiny - because we were led by people who argued principles, who were consistent and coherent, who used evidence, logic, patience and commitment. This act of union stands in sharp contrast to the politics of division that we often see in our modern parliament. For Australia to prosper we need leadership of the calibre the federationists provided: courageous, articulate, persuasive, principlesbased. What might a manifesto for the future look like?
