"My campaign will focus on ending two wars", he said. "One war is on the people of Iraq. I am for getting the troops out now and paying reparations to the Iraqis. The other war is on workers here. We need money for childcare and aged care, not more tanks. We need unity, not racist scapegoating of refugees and Muslims. We need full-time jobs so workers can plan their lives."
