About Guardian Australia’s inequality reporting
The percentage of Australians living below the poverty line has remained relatively unchanged for decades, despite the nearly 30 years of economic growth that preceded the coronavirus pandemic. Some of the country’s most vulnerable groups, including women, young people, over-65s, and those from non-English speaking backgrounds, are experiencing deepening disadvantage. Ultimately, Australia’s self-image as a fair society is being challenged by the facts. Our inequality reporting will shine a light on what is going wrong, what is going right, and how things could change.
All of the reporting is editorially independent and follows Guardian News & Media’s published editorial code. You can read more about content funding on the Guardian here.
