Acoss

The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) is a national advocacy organisation that works to fight poverty and inequality in Australia. It represents a broad coalition of community organisations and individuals committed to social justice. ACOSS is currently newsworthy as it is part of a coalition of housing and community groups urging politicians to pass Labor's proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. This advocacy highlights ACOSS's ongoing commitment to addressing economic disparities. The organisation frequently comments on issues related to wealth distribution and poverty, such as the recent news of Australia's billionaires becoming richer while a significant portion of the population lives in poverty. ACOSS's work remains relevant as it continues to push for policy changes aimed at creating a fairer and more equitable society for all Australians.
