Ownership of Australian property centres in a few
A long analysis discusses how property ownership in Australia is highly concentrated among a small group of wealthy capitalists. It asserts that 90 percent of private wealth sits with the rich and that most property is held by farmers and small business owners, with many Australians owning farms, shops, and factories. The piece cites a 1948-49 tax snapshot showing most taxpayers earned under £3,000 and that two thirds of private incomes came from wages, salaries, or self-employment. It notes widespread ownership by families and government bodies, and mentions a shift toward home ownership and large-scale investment funds as a result of taxation and economic changes.
