Australia’s overly generous approach to taxing wealth is allowing the richest Australians to keep more for themselves. On this episode of Dollars & Sense, Greg and Elinor discuss Australia’s growing wealth gap, what Australians think about the government’s proposed superannuation tax changes, and what the escalating conflict in the Middle East means for the global economy. This discussion was recorded on Wednesday 18 June 2025 and things may have changed since recording. Our independence is our strength – and only you can make that possible.
