Follow The Money

Australia’s flawed tax system means that there’s never been a better time to be ultra-wealthy in Australia, despite some people struggling to put food on the table. We’re told it’s a cost-of-living crisis, but not everyone is feeling the pinch. New Australia Institute research shows that the ultra-rich are getting richer, thanks in part to Australia’s distorted tax system. On this episode of Follow the Money, Dr Richard Denniss and Dave Richardson join Dr Alice Grundy to discuss the growing problem of inequality and what we can do to fix it. This discussion was recorded on Tuesday 20 August 2024 and things may have changed since recording. australiainstitute.org.au // @theausinstitute Guest: Richard Denniss, Executive Director, the Australia Institute // @RDNS_TAI Guest: David Richardson, Senior Research Fellow, the Australia Institute // @daverr01 Host: Alice Grundy, Anne Kantor Research Manager, the Australia Institute // @alicektg Show notes: Wealth and inequality in Australia by David Richardson and Fran
