S05, Ep 2: Poverty, its not that complex – with Cassandra Goldie

UNSW SpeakEasy Podcast

Staying hot on the trail of the ‘big issues’, this episode Annie & Carla get some quality time with the amazing Dr Cassandra Goldie, CEO of the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) and tireless advocate for tackling poverty and inequality to reflect on a recent Report into Poverty in Australia by ACOSS & UNSW and to ‘crack the code’ on some of our biggest social issues including “Raising the Rate” of Newstart and how to make housing more affordable. We also talk about why the topic of Superannuation is REALLY interesting… really ☺ Link to ACOSS website: https://www.acoss.org.au/ Poverty in Australia report 2020, Part 1 http://povertyandinequality.acoss.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Poverty-in-Australia-2020_Part-1_Overview.pdf Poverty and Inequality Partnership – ACOSS and UNSW http://povertyandinequality.acoss.org.au/poverty/ How to talk about poverty in the UK https://frameworksinstitute.org/assets/files/PDF_Poverty/JRFUKPovertyMessageMemo2018Final.pdf
