JCL Series: The Elephant in the Room with Thomas Walker and Emma Dawson

All our lives, we’ve been told that hard work leads to economic security and a good life. For many younger Australians, particularly those without family wealth, this now feels like a lie.   Instead of being able to set up their lives, young people are loaded up with increased education and housing debt, or stuck paying unaffordable rents to grow the wealth of others, all while real wages decline.   Hear from Think Forward’s Thomas Walker about the “Tax Wealth Not Work” campaign, and from Per Capita’s Emma Dawson about the upcoming Community Tax Summit.   Visit www.percapita.org.au for more on our research and events. Per Capita's podcasts are recorded and produced on Wurundjeri land.
