In
this interview with Fatima Measham (of
Eureka Street's
ChatterSquare), Labor MP Clare O'Neil discusses the persistent gap
between the rich and the poor, which has left many people disillusioned
about how the economy and governments function, along with the
questions: What does growth mean under these circumstances and is it
still useful to talk about a working class? Clare
presented at the Economics for a Flourishing Society forum, together with
Joe Zabar and John Roskam at the recent national Catholic social
services conference,
Hearing Healing Hope, held in Melbourne between 21-23 February.
