'Better Things Are Possible is a beacon of light in a dark political landscape. Jack Toohey is a refreshing and trusted voice with a positive mission, this book exemplifies that.' Hannah Ferguson, author of Bite Back

A more sustainable and equitable Australia is an achievable reality-we just need the courage to get informed, get connected and show up for the future we want.

The housing crisis, climate change, persistent gender inequity. A mounting mental health epidemic, a floundering media landscape, a political class that seems increasingly disconnected from voters ...

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, you're not alone. But here's the thing: we created these systems, and so we can re-create them.

Better Things Are Possible is Jack Toohey's case for choosing hope over apathy. It's a rallying cry to replace defeatism with resilience and start channelling our energy into innovative solutions to the challenges we're facing.

'A book for punters who aren't afraid to stare down the mess we're in-and discover we're closer to fixing it than we think.' Konrad Benjamin, Punter's Politics
