Australia has long been celebrated as the “Land of Opportunity”, a place where hard work, ambition and determination can lead to a better life. But how true is that promise today? With rising housing…

His ideals, the way he speaks – this desire to raise people from to create an economy and a society that's aspirational right now i think the opportunities that are lost ends up with our kids our respective kids' opportunities being less aspirational and more desperational.
