Abstract
This paper is concerned with trends in income inequality in Australia over recent decades and the impact of government taxes and benefits. It comprises three main sections. The first considers some of the broad changes which may have contributed to changes in the distribution of income; the second tracks shifts in the distribution of income; and the third considers the contribution of specific components of income, in particular government taxes and benefits, to the level and change in income inequality.
