A confronting examination of the politics of poverty.
In most countries, economic inequality is worse than it was 30 years ago, and Australia is no exception. The consequences of economic inequality, include threats to our global security and economic growth, as well as exacerbating other inequalities, such as access to health and education.
In this thought-provoking public lecture Dr Helen Szoke, Chief Executive of Oxfam Australia, shares how Oxfam is tackling inequality, as part of its goal to achieve a world free from poverty. Hear how they achieve this work, while still being fiercely non-partisan, in an unashamedly political environment.
