SUMMARY:BSL Talks: measuring poverty in Australia - Henderson’s Legacy and the Path Ahead
DESCRIPTION:2025 marks 50 years since the release of Australia’s landmark Inquiry into the nature and extent of poverty\, chaired by Professor Ronald Henderson. \nThe Henderson Inquiry laid the foundation for how we understand and measure poverty in Australia. The Henderson Poverty Line has been a consistently measured long-term benchmark – relative to average living standard. It is the same today as it was 50 years ago\, but it needs refreshing. \nGlobally\, 156 countries have adopted either a monetary\, multidimensional\, or combined approach to poverty measurement. Best practice is to have both – Australia has neither. \nAs part of ongoing work to support improved poverty measurement\, the Brotherhood of St. Laurence and the Melbourne Institute have developed a demonstration Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) for Australia. This work draws on the internationally recognised methodology of Professor Sabina Alkire\, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and global leader in poverty measurement. \nFacilitated by BSL’s Chief Strategy and Impact Officer\, Zeah Behrend\, join our latest BSL Talks discussion with Dr Nicole Bieske (BSL’s Director of Research\, Policy and Advocacy)\, Dr Melek Cigdem-Bayram (Ronald Henderson Senior Research Fellow\, Melbourne Institute and BSL) and two experts with lived experience\, Jo and Tamara\, as we explore what having official poverty measures would mean for Australia.

SUMMARY:Supporting Families in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday 15 October to talk about the reality of family homelessness and poverty in Brisbane and show solidarity with locals who need our support. \nRight now\, hundreds of Brisbane families are living in motels – not by choice\, but because there’s nowhere else to go. \nWe’re asking our community to stand with local families who don’t have a home\, by helping to fund a temporary roof. \nBrisbane is facing a growing homelessness crisis\, worsened by a lack of affordable housing and an overwhelmed social housing system.

SUMMARY:Unfinished business: 50 years after Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Registration information is at: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/unfinished-business-50-years-after-henderson-tickets-1736078881669 \nThe Henderson Commission of Inquiry into Poverty (1972-1975) identified structural inequality as the primary driver of poverty and recommended a suite of measures to ensure no Australian would fall below the poverty line. Fifty years later\, around 3.3 million Australians (13.4%) remain in poverty\, with persistent gender inequality and the welfare state’s systematic failure to serve First Nations peoples representing critical unfinished business from Henderson’s agenda. \nThis online panel event examines the trajectory of Australian poverty policy since Henderson’s landmark report\, analysing why many of the report’s core recommendations were not implemented and how poverty has evolved in the context of labour market casualisation\, housing unaffordability\, and the development of an increasingly punitive social security system. The panel discussion will be guided by three key questions: \nHow has the nature and measurement of poverty changed since 1975?\nWhat structural barriers continue to prevent effective poverty reduction?\nWhat future policy innovations could achieve Henderson’s goal of ensuring no Australian falls below the poverty line?\nDrawing on contemporary poverty research\, policy analysis\, and lived experience\, panellists will assess contemporary social policy frameworks against Henderson’s original vision\, while also exploring future opportunities for change. \nFacilitator: \nDr Cassandra Goldie AO is CEO of ACOSS and Adjunct Professor with UNSW Sydney. Cassandra has represented the interests of people who are disadvantaged\, and civil society generally\, in major national and international processes as well as in grassroots communities. Cassandra is Co-Chair of the ACOSS and UNSW Sydney Poverty and Inequality Partnership\, and a member of the Federal Government’s independent Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. In 2023\, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished services to social justice through leadership and advocacy\, promoting the rights of marginalised and disadvantaged people. \nPanellists: \nAssociate Professor Bruce Bradbury is an Associate Professor at the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC) and part of the UNSW Poverty and Inequality Partnership. His research looks at poverty\, inequality and economic disadvantage and the role of government policies in their creation\, alleviation and prevention. He is the co-author of the 2015 book Too many children left behind: The U.S. achievement gap in comparative perspective and a co-editor and author of the 2001 book The Dynamics of Child Poverty in Industrialised Countries. \nProfessor Kay Cook is the Associate Dean of Research in the School of Social Sciences\, Media\, Film and Education at Swinburne University and the only female academic or qualitative researcher on the federal Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee. Her research focuses on the gender of social policy processes and their outcomes\, which are often most striking and disadvantageous for single mother families. \nJeremy Poxon is a welfare rights activist based in Ballarat. As a lead organiser on the grassroots campaign to Raise the Rate\, Jeremy worked alongside welfare recipients to push their demands for economic justice to the forefront of the national agenda. His investigations and condemnations of Australia’s welfare system regularly appear in the ABC\, The Guardian\, SBS\, and elsewhere.
