Far and away from the academic world with its theoretical discussion of what is meant by social exclusion and the empirical attempts to measure it, is the painful reality that confronts large portions of society on a daily basis. This book represents a contribution to the discussion on social exclusion in politics and social sciences. However, beyond this, it is the social reality in Australia that this work hopes to address.
