Publisher: Australian Council of Social Service 2012Description: PDF.Other title: ACOSS paper ; no. 194.Online Access: Electronic copy Notes: The first in a series of "Poverty and Inequality in Australia" reports from the Australian Council of Social Service ACOSS Paper 194Summary: Despite 20 years of economic growth, many people in Australia do not have at least a decent basic standard of living. One simple way to measure this that's widely used by Governments and expert bodies such as the OECD is the number of people living below a poverty line. This report uses two poverty lines, 50% of median household income (half of the 'middle' income for all households) and 60% of median income. ; The lower of these poverty lines (which is used by the OECD) equates to a very austere living standard: a disposable income of less than Availability:

Poverty in Australia : listening to journalists. / by Muller, Denis. Publisher: Fitzroy Vic. Brotherhood of St Laurence 2000Description: vi, 19 p.Online Access: Electronic copy Notes: May 2000Summary: It was agreed by all that economic distribution was unequal, but that this was an inevitable consequence of the unequal distribution of opportunity, native talent, intelligence, energy and good health.
There were divergent views about whether it was reasonable to call this 'unfair'. The bottom line was, if the social consensus was to be preserved, people needed to believe that the have-nots were being cared about, particularly in a society like Australia where the gap between the haves and have-nots is growing. There was some concern about this. The One Nation phenomenon was cited as evidence that the social fabric was wearing thin in places.
