摘要

人们常说,在二战后的漫长繁荣时期,澳大利亚的穷人是被遗忘的群体。然而,作为最重要的非政府福利机构,澳大利亚社会服务委员会(ACOSS)自 1956 年成立以来,一直致力于宣传对贫困问题的关注,并鼓励采取政策措施来缓解贫困人口的不利处境。本文利用一系列原始资料,包括澳大利亚社会服务理事会的年度报告、政策声明、委员会会议记录和通讯,研究了澳大利亚社会服务理事会为低收入澳大利亚人进行宣传的主要表现形式,包括研究报告、预算报告和公共论坛。本文认为,澳大利亚社会保障协会逐渐从孤立地提高特定弱势群体收入的福利主义方法转变为将贫困与更广泛的社会不平等联系起来的社会正义方法。

From Welfarist Support for Vulnerable Groups to a Social Justice Perspective: The Australian Council of Social Service and the Construction of Poverty, 1956–75

It has often been suggested that poor Australians were a forgotten cohort during the long period of post-World War Two prosperity. Yet the peak non-government welfare body, the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS), aimed from its establishment in 1956 to publicise concerns about poverty, and stimulate policy responses to relieve the disadvantage of those living in poverty. Using a range of primary sources including ACOSS annual reports, policy statements, committee meeting minutes and newsletters, this paper examines the key manifestations of ACOSS advocacy for low-income Australians including research reports, budget submissions and public forums. It is argued that ACOSS gradually shifted from a welfarist approach based on lifting the incomes of specific vulnerable groups in isolation to a social justice approach that linked poverty to wider societal inequities.
