N2 - Most studies of income inequality in Australia are based on after-tax cash income, which does not include the value of indirect, non-cash forms of government assistance. This study presents up-to-date estimates of the value and incidence of non-cash health and housing benefits, and examines how widening the definition of income to include these benefits alters income distribution estimates. It draws on recent NATSEM modelling of the impact of government health and housing expenditure.
