i live in australia – this line ‘the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is $31,197’ is extremely misleading. there is no way your average australian has that much disposable income. i earn a very good wage and there is no way i have that much after paying for a mortgage, daycare, food, petrol, utities etc. over the year – the cost of living here is very high. if this is across the population, the stats are being skewed by the extremely high income earners, like gina rineheart.
