Ahh yes! isn’t life at the top end great. The top 20% are laughing($7000 in cuts)
while the bottom 80% get around $10 a week.
The truth is that ABS statistics show that in 2010/11 around 80% of Australians received less
than $78,000. That will have changed in more recent years but it still gives an idea of the situation.
To get to $200,000 is an aspiration most likely have but the stats tell us that even with wage rises
most wont make it.
