Income inequality in Australia

The next couple entries will direct you to a range of organisations whose primary concern is finding solutions to the problems that inequality creates in our society.

ACOSS - www.acoss.org.au
The Brotherhood - www.bsl.org.au
St Vinnies - http://www.vinnies.org.au/UserFiles/File/NATIONAL/Social%20Justice/2005%20May%2029%20-%20The%20Reality%20of%20Income%20Inequality%20in%20Australia.pdf

What solutions do these organisations propose?

ACOSS seems to draw the issues of income inequaliy forward, "a voice" as their website says, but how effecive would that be? The others seem to actually provide handouts or services at a reduced cost, which seems more effective in the short term. Whether or not people would rely on these handouts is another issue, it would be a bit of a disincentive to work...
