Synopsis
Wayne Swan (Treasurer of Australia from 2007 to 2013) here examines the fracturing of the Australian nation occurring along geographic lines. The book is about the distribution of poverty and inequality in Australia – the disappearance of the 'fair go' and the policies required to restore justice and equality in Australia. Can Australia afford to develop a 'postcode apartheid' which will undermine prosperity and security?

Paperback octavo, very good condition, top corner tip front cover creased, minor edgewear, sticker mark rear cover (covers a few letters of text). 248 pp. Wayne Swan, then Labor Federal Shadow Treasurer, explains how Australia is a prosperous country, but the benefits of this prosperity are not being fairly shared. About 1 million working Australians and their dependents are below the poverty line. The Australian nation has become a frayed patchwork of winners and losers from economic change. Swan draws on the latest research data and his own experience of moving around Australia and talking to many people, including disadvantaged locations such as Palm Island, Redfern and the Glenquarie Estate. (He later became Treasurer in the Kevin Rudd Labor Federal government.). Seller Inventory # 18608
