Recent data confirms current policies are gradually reversing Australia’s chronic inequality
This smells like a politically driven extrapolation of the last two years
Tough economic times that impact profits under labor is somehow spun into wow look the poor are getting richer, thanks labor
Most of the evidence they are citing here has nothing to do with actual real poor people. If you have a full time job and are buying a house, a new car, light aircraft (???), jewellery, cosmetics, can afford to travel overseas and enrol your kids in “expensive” private schools then you were never poor (or at the very least not recently).
Meanwhile they describe an extra $20 a fortnight for rent assistance as a “hefty increase”. The guy who wrote this article has absolutely no clue, probably because he lives in France and is completely detached from the reality here.
Some obvious cherry picking going on here.
And here I thought linking to a non existent article was the punch line…
I got a chuckle from that too.
Thank you, I’ve fixed the link.
omg thats so sad, those poor rich people
