Cass looks at beinging Christians in both the public and private spheres. She looks at how we try to construct our private lives, both finding our identity in work, the importance of work for men, and the inter-dependance between the public and private spheres. Cass explores the changes in Australian society, especially the changes that have created inequality, and the tried but weaker policies in changing this.Cass explains the role and importance of providing financial support to the unemployed to tackling casualisation and unemployment.Cass speaks on the cultural differences that need to be considered when making policies, especially around the distribution of wealth.Disney speaks on moral issues within five areas within the public sphere - the economy, employment, education, urban environment, and the mass media.The economy - increased economic development will improve standards of living. Should flow to those with a low income. This is partly because we are close to ASia, but introducing Goods and Services tax (GST) will also help.Employment - worry is related to long-term unemployment, but an increase in full-time and part-time jobs, as well as those unemployed. Disney explores the impacts on taking leave, and flow-on effects. He makes some suggestions for change.Education - the importance of primary education for low SES areas.Urban environment - home ownership and the fall in the supply of public housing. Too much of the economy is spent on larger houses. Disney speaks on the reduction of public transport in new areas. He calls for more public transport, and a different view in some areas.Media - too much influence on policy making, which is dangerous.Disney makes suggestions that Christians/Anglicans can make, despite not being a believer himself.
