Abstract

Inequality in Australia is now as high as it has been in a lifetime. In this talk - the Hon Andrew Leigh MP’s third and final ‘Just Ideas’ speech - Dr Leigh will address the question of how to narrow the gap between rich and poor. From education to competition policy, tax to social policy, smart policies can not only stop inequality from rising, but create a more equal Australia.
