Better Things Are Possible: How rebellious hope will change the world

A timely manifesto for political, social, and cultural progress that challenges broken systems and reimagines a fairer future.

Better Things Are Possible is Jack Toohey’s call to action for a more sustainable and equitable Australia—and a reminder that change is within reach if we have the courage to get informed, get connected, and show up for the future we want.

The housing crisis, climate change, gender inequality, the mental health epidemic, a struggling media landscape, and a political class increasingly out of touch—these challenges can feel overwhelming. But as Toohey reminds us, the systems we built can be rebuilt.

This inspiring book is a case for hope over apathy, a rallying cry to replace defeatism with resilience and to turn frustration into collective action.

“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
