To become a fairer nation, Australia needs to set national inequality targets

<https://theconversation.com/to-become-a-fairer-nation-australia-needs-to-set-national-inequality-targets-266994>

"“Income inequality hits a 20-year high”. “Housing is less affordable than
ever”. “The staggering truth about wage inequality in Australia”. Those are
just some of the headlines we’ve seen this year about new research on growing
inequality, which often hits younger Australians hardest.

The United Nations tracks countries’ efforts to reduce inequalities. According
to its 2025 report, Australia’s performance on cutting inequality is
“stagnating”.

To do better, we need clear national targets to measure progress, just as we
have for cutting carbon emissions and Closing the Gap for Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander people.

Here’s where I’d recommend we start – because we risk real social and economic
consequences if we don’t do more."
