Public Policy Think Tank, the Australian Fabian society, has just released new research showing that the Australian public has no idea about rates in inequality in this country. In fact, a whopping 73% of people underestimate the level of wealth inequality: in Australia, the wealthiest 1% of people hold wealth equivalent to the poorest 70%.
Australian Fabians National Char – Billy Colless – says the research demonstrates a troubling disconnect between the public’s understanding of wealth inequality and its ongoing commitment to a fair society. |
