Introduction
Since the publication of our primary report on this matter in a 2014, Australia’s inequality problems have deteriorated. Inequality is not an accident or an inevitable by-product of our financial systems. Inequality is inherent in our political system. It helps those with the wealth throughout tax havens as well as punishes low-income people by keeping low wages moreover social safety payments below the disposable income. Before we focus on the source, we can’t hope to curb the trend of financial inequality. There are several different forms of racism. It may range from abuse of language and discriminatory treatments to genocide, based only on someone's color or “race". Daily, science makes it clearer that although humanity is diverse; it is a family and a person.
Sadly, our general experience shows that disgust, hatred or racism is a common human failure simply because of their origin or culture. When considering racial discrimination, we must always check these related factors. Australia is no longer a classless society. Global inequality is now growing and global sustainability is declining. Most Australians underestimate the difference in wealth and income between the top 10% and the lowest 90%. In one survey, when recent ABS data showed a 60-times difference, Australians thought the richest 20% had four times more wealth than the poorest. When people are aware of the differences, the evidence suggests that they strongly support early remedial actions. The main issue to be addressed in the analysis is how to manage Australia's inequality and racism.
Context
In the light of this, Australia 21 and the Australian Institute produce landmark report entitled “Fair competition for the each Australian: urgent action is needed”. New survey information has been release, emphasizing that most Australians believe that our civilization has become a more unequal in the past decade, and government must take more steps to alleviate this problem (Austen and Redmond, 2012). It scientifically denies the complete human rights of certain people easily because of color, race, ancestry, race, caste and national origin.
It is an attack on the fundamental principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) - Human rights are the basic rights of everyone and they apply without all things. The right to fall prey to racial discrimination is one of the most fundamental principles of international human rights law. This principle appears in almost every major human rights device and in the "UN Charter". In fact, the main purpose of the US is to attain worldwide cooperation... to encourage and promote respect for the human rights as well as fundamental freedom, regardless of gender, race, language and religion (Clarke and Waschik, 2012). On the other hand, the reality of income inequality in Australia will shock many people: the top 20% of us live in a family with five times the income of at least 20%. At the most extreme scale, up to 1% of people lives in household, with a standard weekly income of 27 times the lowest 5% of people's income ($11,682 versus $436/week). This means that the highest 1% of income in two weeks is the same as the lowest 5% in a year. The richest 20% have nearly two-thirds of the wealth, while the lowest half has only 18%. Certain wealth is more unequal than other wealth. The average value of wealth in self-occupied homes under the age of 35 has fallen - from $90,000 to $85,000. For families over 65, housing wealth increased by 37% to $509,000 (Godding, 2014). The inequality of wealth among the people under the age of 35 is the most serious. In other words, the gap between the wealthy and wealthier young people has grown during this period.
History of Policy
A Fair Go For All Australians’ among all Australians proves that Australia's income inequality is a fourth uppermost among the 16 OECD countries. “Fair competition for all the Australians” outlines the path to more equitable future for our country. Adopting strong social justice grounds to alleviate inequality also has a negative impact on the economy. The government has no meaning whatsoever between the “leaner” and the “lifter”. Most people want to find a job (Hatemi and McDermott, 2011).
They want to think that this is a meaningful job and they want to do well. Their productivity depends not only on the difficulty of preparing them, but also on their level of training, the level of leadership and management, and the equipment they are equipped with. This policy needs to reintroduce idea of living wages. Some business that relies on employees who pay less than their living wages lacks a business sustainable model. To alleviate inequality, we should recognize the benefits of invest in people: vocational training, education, better access to wellbeing, public housing, as well as decent living standards for the unemployed (Lalitha and Bhatia, 2010). Eliminating tax incentives, such as capital gains...
