The Australia We Once Knew Is Gone
There was a time when ordinary Australians could work hard, buy a home, pay it off and create a secure future for their families.
Australia had eliminated Commonwealth net debt.
Home ownership was within reach.
One income could support a family.
The rules surrounding tax, superannuation and retirement appeared more stable.
And if you were prepared to work, save and invest, there was a genuine opportunity to get ahead.
That Australia no longer exists.
The cost of simply living continues to climb.
Home ownership is slipping further out of reach.
Government debt has grown.
The rules around taxation and superannuation continue to change.
And many Australians who have done everything they were told to do are beginning to wonder:
Will the financial plan I trusted actually get me where I need to go?
The old boat has left the harbour.
Millions of Australians missed it.
And perhaps the most confronting part is this:
Our children may never even know there was a boat.
They are growing up in an Australia where owning a home can feel like an impossible dream.
Where working hard doesn’t necessarily mean getting ahead.
Where families earn more but feel poorer.
Where retirement rules can change after people have spent decades planning around them.
And where the opportunities previous generations used to build wealth may no longer be available in the same way.
But this three-night event isn’t being held simply to tell you what has been lost.
Because while the old boat may have gone…
Another Ship Is Coming
New markets are emerging.
Technology is changing the way people earn, invest and build wealth.
Capital is moving into new sectors and new locations.
And there may still be a window for Australians who are prepared to recognise what is changing—and act before the next opportunity becomes obvious to everyone.
The next generation of wealth may not be created by following the same financial map that worked 20 or 30 years ago.
How to become less financially vulnerable and more difficult to control by building independent income
The question is:
Will you recognise the next ship when it arrives—or watch that one leave without you too?
Pat Mesiti Will Ask the Questions Others Won’t
Across three powerful nights, Pat Mesiti will sit down with six speakers who bring very different perspectives on Australia’s future and the opportunities that may still remain.
These will not be carefully managed conversations filled with rehearsed talking points.
Pat is going to ask the hard questions.
The questions Australians are asking around their kitchen tables as they watch grocery bills climb, mortgage repayments rise, home ownership move further away and the rules surrounding their retirement savings continue to change.
There will be no tiptoeing around the issues.
No sugarcoating the responses.
And no pretending everything is fine when millions of Australians can feel that something has fundamentally changed.
Pat will press Peter Costello, Martin North and George Christensen on what happened to the prosperous, debt-free Australia we once knew—and what today’s decisions could mean for your home, retirement, children and future.
Then Jonathan Jobe, Brian Rose and Sean Allison will reveal where they believe new opportunities may be emerging—and how ordinary Australians could position themselves before another ship leaves the harbour.
Because these aren’t abstract economic arguments.
This is your money.
Your superannuation.
Your home.
Your security.
And the future your children may inherit.
You deserve more than political slogans, carefully prepared answers and another expert telling you not to worry.
You deserve an honest conversation about where Australia is heading—and what you can still do to prepare for it.
It may not be a comfortable conversation.
But with your money, retirement and children’s future at stake,
comfort is no longer the point.

The Old Financial Map May No Longer Work
For generations, Australians were taught to follow a simple plan:
Get a good job. Buy a house. Pay into super. Work hard. Retire comfortably.
But what happens when the house is no longer affordable?
What happens when inflation and living costs consume more of your income?
What happens when governments change the rules around superannuation, taxation and retirement?
What happens when your children work just as hard as you did—but cannot afford the opportunities you once had?
And what happens if you reach retirement only to discover that the plan you trusted was never enough?
If you don’t create your own financial plan, you will eventually default to somebody else’s.
That could mean working longer than you expected.
Downsizing because you have no other choice.
Depending on a pension that may not provide the lifestyle you imagined.
Watching your savings lose purchasing power.
Or seeing your children struggle to achieve the financial independence previous generations once took for granted.
This event is not about looking backwards and complaining about what Australia used to be.
It is about understanding what changed…
What may be coming next…
And what you may need to do differently before another opportunity passes.
Six Speakers Over Two Powerful Nights
Three Voices Examining What Happened—and Three Revealing What Could Come Next
First, Pat will sit down with three major economic and political voices to examine what happened to Australia, what current policy decisions could mean for ordinary Australians and where the country may be heading.
Then, three additional speakers will explore the markets, technologies and strategies that could represent the next ship—and explain how Australians may be able to position themselves for what comes next.

The Hon. Peter Costello AC
Can You Still Trust the System You’re Relying on for Retirement?
For decades, Australians have been told to work hard, save consistently and put their faith in superannuation.
But what happens when the rules keep changing?
What happens when governments begin taxing money you have spent a lifetime building?
And can you confidently plan for retirement when you don’t know what the system will look like in another 10, 20 or 30 years?
As Australia’s longest-serving Federal Treasurer and one of the architects of Australia’s modern financial and retirement systems, Peter Costello is uniquely placed to answer the questions millions of Australians are now asking.
During his time as Treasurer, Peter delivered 12 federal budgets—including 10 surpluses—and Australia eliminated Commonwealth net debt.
He also played a major role in establishing APRA and ASIC and created the Future Fund to help meet the Australian Government’s future liabilities.
Now Pat Mesiti is going to put the difficult questions directly to him.
There will be no carefully rehearsed political interview.
No avoiding the uncomfortable issues.
And no sugarcoating the answers.
Pat will ask:
- Does superannuation still serve its original purpose—or has it become another source of government revenue?
- Is it fair to change the rules after Australians have spent decades planning their retirement around them?
- Could taxes aimed at larger super balances eventually reach ordinary Australians?
- Are constant changes making it harder to save, invest and plan with confidence?
- Can Australians in their 30s, 40s and 50s genuinely rely on super being there for them?
- Is Australia’s tax system still designed to reward people who work, save and build wealth?
- What is the greatest threat to retirement security: government debt, taxation, demographics or political interference?
- Will Payday Super genuinely benefit Australian workers—and what will it mean for businesses?
- If Peter Costello were Treasurer today, what would he change immediately?
- Should Australians feel confident about their financial future—or begin preparing differently now?
This conversation could change the way you think about your super, retirement and the financial plan you have trusted for years.
You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of:
- Whether your current retirement strategy is built on assumptions that may no longer hold
- Which changes could have the greatest impact on your super and long-term security
- What Australians at different stages of life should be considering now
- Why relying entirely on government policy may leave your future exposed
- How to ask better questions and take greater ownership of what happens next
Because this isn’t simply a debate about government policy.
It’s about whether the money you have worked your entire life to build will still provide the retirement you were promised.
And whether waiting to find out could leave you with too little time to change course.
Martin North
What Is Really Happening Beneath Australia’s Economic Headlines?
The official figures may tell you the economy is holding up.
But that may not be what you see when you open your mortgage statement, pay for groceries or look at what remains in your bank account at the end of the month.
Martin North is one of Australia’s leading independent voices on housing, household debt and the financial pressures facing everyday Australians.
He has spent years examining the numbers beneath the headlines—tracking mortgage stress, household finances, lending, property markets and the decisions being made by banks and governments.
Pat will ask Martin:
- How much financial pressure are Australian households really experiencing?
- Why do so many families feel worse off even when official figures suggest the economy is performing?
- Where is the housing market heading?
- Has the Australian dream of home ownership already moved beyond the reach of a generation?
- What are high levels of household debt doing to Australian families?
- Which risks are being underestimated or ignored?
- Are property owners as secure as rising prices might suggest?
- What should homeowners, investors and everyday Australians be watching next?
- What could happen if current pressures continue?
If the official economic story doesn’t resemble what is happening in your own bank account, this is a conversation you need to hear.
George Christensen
What Are Today’s Political Decisions Really Costing Australians?
George Christensen has never been afraid to confront the political issues others prefer to avoid.
As a former federal Member of Parliament, he has seen how political decisions are made—and how policies promoted in Canberra can affect ordinary Australians, small businesses and future generations.
Pat will ask George:
- How is government policy reshaping wealth creation in Australia?
- Why are Australians becoming increasingly dependent on government?
- What happens when taxation, regulation and spending continue to grow?
- Are today’s political decisions making future generations less financially independent?
- Is the balance between government responsibility and personal freedom shifting?
- What are Australians not being told about the long-term consequences of current policy?
- Are small businesses and working families carrying too much of the burden?
- What must ordinary people do to become better informed, prepared and financially resilient?
This won’t be a party-political advertisement.
It will be a frank discussion about the decisions being made today—and the price Australians may be paying for them tomorrow.
Understanding the Problem Isn’t Enough
You can know the old boat has left.
You can understand how Australia changed.
You can see the financial pressure building.
You can become angry about debt, taxation, housing and superannuation.
But unless you know where the next ship may be coming from—and how you could get aboard—nothing changes.
Information without action becomes another thing you once heard but never used.
That’s why this event will not stop at diagnosing the problem.
Pat will also introduce three speakers exploring the markets, technologies and strategies that could help ordinary Australians create additional income, build greater security and position themselves for what comes next.
Where Is the Next Ship Coming From?
Three New Opportunities You May Not Have Considered
Jonathan Jobe, Brian Rose and Sean Allison will reveal three very different opportunities.
Each represents a different path.
Each challenges the traditional financial map.
And each could help answer one critical question:
If working harder is no longer enough, what could you do differently?
Jonathan Jobe
What If the Second Income You Need… Isn’t a Second Job?
With living costs climbing, many Australians need another source of income—but they don’t have more hours to give.
Jonathan Jobe will reveal how technology and automation are opening new ways for ordinary people to participate in the financial markets without spending their lives watching charts.
He’ll answer:
- Can a complete beginner genuinely learn this?
- Can you start carefully without gambling your savings?
- Can automation remove the emotion and guesswork?
- Could an additional income help you reduce debt, prepare for retirement and create more choices?
This isn’t about becoming a full-time trader.
It’s about discovering whether a system that works beyond your paycheque could give you greater breathing room, freedom and control.
You don’t need another job to create another income. You may simply need a better system.

Sean Allison
Could the Stock Market Be the Solution Most Australians Are Overlooking?
Right now, Australians are searching for ways to get ahead.
But mention the stock market and most people immediately look the other way.
“It’s too complicated.”
“It’s too risky.”
“I wouldn’t know where to begin.”
Sean Allison is about to reveal a little-known stock-market strategy that could challenge everything you thought you knew.
It’s a completely automated system created for absolute beginners—even if you’ve never bought a share, studied a chart or understood how the markets work.
Sean will reveal how everyday Australians can use this overlooked strategy to pursue potential weekly income—without becoming stock-market experts or spending their lives watching screens.
At a time when working harder is no longer enough, the solution may be hiding in the very market most people dismiss as too difficult.
The stock market may not be too hard. You may simply never have been shown its secret.
