The politics of welfare in Australia since 1950
Australia has long been lauded as the land of the fair go – a place where there will always be a helping hand for anyone who has fallen on hard times.
But are Australians genuinely committed to a fair society, and are we prepared to pay for it?
A new book traces the evolution of welfare from the governments of Menzies to Morrison.
