Abstract
This report contains the proceedings of a one-day public seminar, organised by the Social Welfare Research Centre and held at the University of New South Wales on 29 November, 1985. The aim of the seminar was to create an opportunity for presenting to the public some important issues of concern, which are currently in the forefront of the debate on social welfare policy - Income Distribution, Taxation, and Social Security - and invite wider participation in discussions of these issues.
