Dear John,

I have some news to share with you. It’s something quite close to my heart.

My book, "Why I Care, and Why Care Matters" is coming out in two weeks.

As you know, caring is, and has been, much of my life. And yet, it is only
since becoming Leader that I have felt comfortable and compelled to speak about
it. In my first speech, I talked about being a voice for carers, and you will
remember how the message grew into the story I shared in our election broadcast.



Opening up like that was a big decision for both Emily and me. But since then,
we have received a fairly constant stream of support and kindness. My inbox has
become almost like a meeting place for carers from all over the country to
share their support, advice and kind words, and talk about their problems.

It truly solidified for me that telling our stories – the realities of
caring, the joys and the struggles – is the most powerful way to change things.
It cuts through the noise and reminds everyone of the human beings at the heart
of this issue.

The thought that care might slip down the priority list scares me. It too
often feels like governments see care as something that's just… too
complicated, too difficult to really tackle. And that’s a shame, because I
believe it’s the very foundation of a healthy society.

And so, I have written a book.

I will be honest, it's deeply personal for me, and for the four other carers
whose stories I tell. At times, I found it difficult to write.

But with these personal stories, and my reflections on what it’s going to
take to really fix care, I hope we can put care at the forefront of people’s
minds, make it so real that it can’t be ignored.

My greatest wish is that this book will spark conversations and remind us all
just how essential care is – not just for individuals, but for the kind of
world we want to build together.
