assessment on income distribution (1 Viewer)

[franny_bob]

heya all
for an in class essay our teacher was kind enough to give us the question. i have a rough idea of what to include within the essay although i want to make sure i don't forget anything.
the question is:
describe recent trends in the distribution of income in Australia and analyse the imapct of specific economic policies on the distribution.
i also need some recent stats to include although i never know what stats to actually use. so in this case what could i include and if anyone knows where i can find useful data it would be appreciated
thanks, keep smiling
and B +ve (be positive)
