We are a political movement of everyday Australians aiming to represent and empower grassroots people and communities in Australian life, including:

• families (the foundation of society but unrepresented by any broad, mainstream organisation)

• small businesses and independent owners (the backbone of our economy and employment but ignored by governments)

• consumers (the least organised and least vocal component of our economy)

• people with disabilities, chronic and mental illnesses and their families/carers (the most invisible and vulnerable Australians)

• the aged (the carriers of our accumulated wisdom but regarded as redundant and unproductive in our culture)

• volunteers in communities (the glue in society but unrepresented in any of our halls of power)

• individuals and communities who practice self-help (whose voices are rarely heard in public life)
