It would be great if more people could see through the bulldust at 20 paces (Rough patch in third way Opinion 11/1). Whilst there have been reforms aimed at increasing social inclusion from the current Federal Government, such reforms are at the periphery and are fighting against socially exclusive structures. Any government with a genuine commitment to social inclusion would not bother with a social inclusion portfolio whilst continuing to support two tiered health and education systems and a tax and benefits system which has led to an increase in income inequality over the last decade.
