So the RBA looks at #poverty and worsening #inequality that are driving widespread discontent and the rise of One Nation and the #FarRight, and says 'Hold my beer'.

If the PM is genuinely concerned about 'social cohesion', he should start with the neoliberal nightmare he presides over. #auspol

🧵 Poverty lines help compare living standards across countries. Since prices of goods and services vary across countries, the World Bank uses purchasing power parities (PPPs) to express them in a common currency.

Title: At the lower-middle-income poverty line, India’s poverty rate is still higher than the world average

Sub-title: Lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) poverty rate by country, over time

Explanation: India’s poverty rate at the lower-middle-income threshold fell from about 83% in 1977 to 24% in 2022, but remained above the world average of about 19% in 2024. China’s rate fell from nearly 100% in the early 1980s to almost zero by 2020.
