We Need Leaders

I'm an Australian. Our country is in trouble.

This great country of ours needs real leadership. It needs forsight and courage to ensure safety and prosperity for the future. It needs intelligent action. Right now.

But our leaders are just talking. And it makes my blood boil.

I would love for our leaders to recognise that they can't look to the past to see what to do in the future. We are entering a new era and we will need new ideas and strategies to navigate this uncertain future.

That means having the courage to choose options that may appear contrarian to popular opinion at first. But that is why leaders are leaders.

Our future depends on you...
