Hard-working Australians are already feeling the pressure. Rising living costs continue to burden families, making it increasingly difficult for many to get ahead, own a home, build wealth, or retire comfortably. The proposed changes in the 2026 Federal Budget will exacerbate these struggles, hitting working Australians and retirees the hardest.

As a passionate advocate for young Australians, I've watched with frustration as they get priced out of the housing and investment opportunities that previous generations took for granted. The changes proposed in the 2026 Federal Budget pose a significant threat to our collective aspiration, fairness, and opportunity. These budget changes risk depriving young Australians of the chance to build a future and create wealth, which is a fundamental goal for many.

The policies must support aspiration, fairness, and opportunity. By implementing changes that serve only to widen the gap between those who can and those who cannot afford our cost of living, we risk hardening the inequalities in our nation.

Working Australians deserve policies that genuinely support them, rather than make their aspirations even more unattainable. It's crucial for the government to reevaluate these changes and introduce budget plans that remove barriers to homeownership, incentivize investments, and ensure a fair go for all citizens.

Stand with us now to demand that the government reconsider these budget changes for 2026. It's time to advocate for policies that align with the values of opportunity and fairness. Sign this petition to call on our leaders to protect working Australians and retirees from additional financial pressures.
