This year’s ABC Boyer Lecturer Sir Michael Marmot argues that inequality is making us sick and extreme inequality is simply unsustainable.
Australia has always been the land of the fair go but evidence shows the distribution of wealth in Australia is no more egalitarian than the average for the OECD counties and some say the economic, health and social inequality gap in this country could be reaching crisis point.
On Monday night Q&A turns the focus to inequality.
