New Book Offers Practical Answers to Australia's Issues

Pietro Barbara marks his publishing debut with the release of "Outside the Box: A Wind of Change" (published by Xlibris AU). Under the license of outside-the-box thinking, Barbara stresses that the book gives practical alternative answers to many of Australia's current challenges.

A philosophical opinion piece, the book aims to provoke discussion and action. It tackles issues, including: a respectful republic, a new flag, a sensitive, inclusive constitution, and a renewed political system; the taxation dilemma and universal fair retirement and health care; the energy, water and climate change challenges; and making a proud place for the First Nations people. Moreover, the book advocates an "Australia coming of age" on the world stage, where Australia is first in the eyes of all. Ultimately, it encourages a universal outside-the-box thinking by touching on other emerging issues that will be fundamental to shaping a new constitution for Australia.

"Australia is 'of age.' The status quo is no longer preferred by most, and the country deserves better. The solutions and suggestions in this work are possible, practical, plausible and if adopted would mark the beginning of a new era of growth and national pride for Australia," Barbara says.

"Outside the Box" is a groundbreaking work that is intentionally brief. It is designed to stimulate thought, discussion and reform.
