National wealth generated through taxation is not being fairly raised or shared in Australia. This means Australia will be unable to transition safely and equitably to a new economy, one that is based on renewable energy and increased delivery of social services, and is fit for 21st century domestic and globalised markets. Australians no longer have sufficient welfare safety nets necessary for an efficient and fair transition to this new sustainable economy. They need a new Accord with parliaments on Wealth, Welfare and Wellbeing. Find out why and how we can begin safe travel to a new economy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVU9Gg408nI&t=29s

Just visited Coogee Beach in Sydney and saw many of these shelters called CoolCabanas.  They are designed so you can enjoy the beach without sunburn, ageing, and skin cancer being rated for UPF 50+ protection. They come in a compact travel bag and only one person is needed to set one up. In addition to its Brisbane headquarters, CoolCabanas now has distribution centres in the US and the Netherlands. https://stories.uq.edu.au/contact-magazine/2021/place-in-the-sun/index.htmlhttps://coolcabanas.com.au/
