The Gini Coefficient refers to the level of unequal income distribution within an economy... So factors that would lead to increased inequality (Coefficient moves towards 1) would be Australia's decentralised wage system, or the GST, whilst factors that decrease the level of inequality (Coefficient moves towards 0) would be the progressive tax system, and increased minimal wage.

Hope this helps :)
