because no matter who wins, you lose
Campaign Against The System (CATS for short) aims to expose how Australian electoral politics and the system of power that it maintains offers no viable solutions to the crises we face. The system is happy to let the majority suffer whilst the rich get richer.
On macro issues such as ecological destruction, climate collapse, endless wars, housing, homelessness, inequality and the creation of refugees, Australia and it’s political systems has no answers and is inherently exploitative.
While those in power have known for a long time elections maintain their power and keep the rest of us out, this campaign aims to interrupt the facade that these elections can lead to substantial change. Instead we aim to burst the bubble of illusion that the campaign trail spreads, and have REAL conversations with you about how forms of more direct democracy would better serve us all.
