Proudly hosted by the John Curtin Research Centre

We are thrilled to have Bill Kelty launching Mulino’s Safety Net: The Future of Welfare in Australia.

Here, economist and Labor MP Daniel Mulino explains how the Australian welfare state was created – and what we need to do to protect and extend it. The welfare state is one of the crowning achievements of the twentieth century, giving citizens access to healthcare, pensions, disability and unemployment benefits. In this deeply researched and lucid account, Mulino looks to the challenges facing today’s welfare state and reflects on what steps must be taken to protect and extend it.
