Abstract
The absolute, arbitrary, single‐dimensional definition of poverty used by The Australian Government's Commission of Inquiry Into Poverty in its Interim Report of March, 1974, is inconsistent with a commitment to bring about a change in the structure of Australian society and to correct the excessive degree of economic inequality. Because of the significance of the conceptualization of poverty to the well‐being of the majority of Australians, the commission is urged to perceive the problem of poverty as a problem of inequality and to apply a relative poverty line to the income data in their first main report.
