Tutor: David Nelson
Australia faces an uncertain future in a world of increasing geopolitical tensions, global warming, extreme weather events, increasing income and wealth inequality, a housing crisis, falling real wages, low productivity, and declining educational standards. Health, hospitals, schools, social housing, the NDIS, domestic violence, mental health, aged and childcare, the unemployed, and defence, all require more government support. Australia as a wealthy country can address these challenges but governments seem incapable of reforming the taxation system to fund the services required.
