We use innovative educative means to build a greater understanding of the economic forces that shape our lives. Events such as Speed Renting, the True Cost Economics Forum and the I Want to Live Here film competition are a few of the means we use to awaken people's interest in why their wallet's are empty.

Once people understand the power of economic reform, we hope to re-tool the tax system so that greater affordabilty, sustainability and sensibility is possible.

Join the Renegade Economists - don't believe the snow-job: economics is essential not dismal, primal not technical. Everyday people can and should understand it.

Education on economics, understandings built on how we can have sef-funding public transport and infrastructure, walkable re-localised communities with sustainable housing.

 

We promote Community Land Trusts and will continue to lobby for their implementation.

Recent Accomplishments of Earthsharing Australia:

We have had some major breakthroughs in terms of press, with at least 6 artices in the Age and other key mediums over the last year. As the GFC threatens the communities interests, a yearning for deep seated reform is building.
