So, first things first, you should know that Australia was
colonised as an 'economic project' and
they got it up and running pretty quickly making it one of the most prosperous
places on the planet in its early years.
While China did recently note that the country was once roamed by
"rascals and outlaws" what China neglected to mention is that most of them made it into positions of power.
The 'authorities' decided to start off Australia's police force
with criminals, which should tell you a lot already.
The people in government were running a mockery, where the
imperial government had enough and in 1865 installed the Colonial Laws Validity
Act.
The serfs should also know that the Australian capital was
designed by a 'brother' for the 'brotherhood'.
Australia was never meant to be a 'peasants paradise' and
this is reflected in the law that the brotherhood installs on the people, tax slaves or more recently categorised 'consumers'.

aided by a tax system that rewards people the more houses and units they own."

Wealth in Australia is now determined by how many assets you
own
Wealth in Australia was once determined by the type of job
you worked and how much money you made. Now experts say there’s a new measure.
An Australian’s wealth was once determined by their
employment status, the type of job they had and how much money they made.
But in 2019, there’s a new five-tier measure of wealth based
on how many assets you own, according to a team of University of Sydney
researchers.
Social scientists Professor Lisa Adkins, Associate Professor
Melinda Cooper and Professor Martijn Konings argue that simply having a job and
earning a salary are no longer adequate measures of determining class.
“In the present era, where mid-size homes in large Western
cities often appreciate by far more in a given year than it is possible for
middle-class wage-earners to save from wages, such a continued focus on
employment as the main determinant of class is increasingly untenable,” said
Prof Adkins.
According to Dr Cooper and Prof Konings, there is now a
five-tier asset-based class system in the developed world.
The top ranking is the “investor” group — those who don’t
necessarily have an ordinary working wage but “live off the income generated
from portfolios of assets through to non-asset owning classes”.
It noted that in Sydney, just under 50 per cent of all
apartments were owned by investors — and the statistic is often higher in
central areas of the city.
The second highest group are those who own their home
outright. The third highest are those who hold a mortgage.
The bottom two categories are called “churners” who have no
housing assets. The fourth category are renters who don’t own any properties or
have a mortgage. They can be wage renters or welfare renters.
The homeless sit at the bottom rung of the ladder, with no
income from assets, wages or the state.
The researchers largely focused on Sydney, the nation’s most
expensive capital city for housing, where they found wealth is increasingly
denied by those who own property versus those who will forever be priced out of
the housing market.
This system is aided by a tax system that rewards people the
more houses and units they own.
“While requiring further empirical verification, we believe
that our proposed five-point asset-based class scheme will go some way in
explaining how the current structural mutation of capital is central to the
production of a new social structure of class,” the report stated.
“In short, we see our scheme as providing a long-overdue
sociological translation of the implications of growing asset-based wealth
inequalities.”
