Tax and welfare - two ways that maintain our inequalities and the system that justifies them

Friday, 12 July 2019 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
