  • Economist warns Australia faces UK-style inequality crisis

    Economist warns Australia faces UK-style inequality crisis
    Feb 28 2026
    Gary Stevenson, a former London trader turned social media economist with over 2.5 million followers, warns that growing wealth inequality is causing falling living standards for ordinary families who increasingly cannot afford homes or basic necessities. He advocates for taxing the ultra-wealthy rather than working people, arguing that billionaires currently pay effectively nothing while workers pay 40-60% tax. Stevenson is touring Australia to urge action before the country experiences the same severe inequality crisis currently affecting the UK, where half of families struggle to simultaneously feed children and heat their homes.

    A 20-year-old man, Jason Joseph Michaels, has been arrested in Western Australia and charged with five offences related to an alleged terror plot targeting WA Parliament House, police headquarters and Muslim places of worship. The Bindoon resident was allegedly motivated by white supremacist ideology, with authorities discovering firearms and a manifesto at his home. The arrest follows increased concern about young men becoming radicalised through encrypted messaging platforms like Telegram, with terrorism experts noting a significant rise in extremist behaviour in the post-pandemic environment.
