Across my career, I've had failures and setbacks along the way, but I've always tried to approach this job positively, energetically, ethically, while always focusing on the issues. I now honestly reflect after two decades campaigning for progressive change that a lot of this has been diligently fighting the symptoms, not the source. I've protested, petitioned, organised, and lobbied. I've got myself arrested and got myself elected and sometimes I've won and changed a policy or law. But after 20 years of campaigning, it feels like I've been fighting the Hydra. Often in this House, we spend our time debating if it should be a State-run, a corporate, or an electric ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. We need to think deeper into the systemic reasons behind growing homelessness, child poverty, the mental health crisis, plastic oceans, vanishing species, and unswimmable rivers. I believe these things aren't designed bugs; they're actually designed features arising from the neo-liberal operating system installed in the 1980s.
