Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers unveiled Treasury’s 40-year economic projections as part of the Albanese government’s second Intergenerational Report. The report highlights several long-term challenges facing Australia, including shifting geopolitical conditions, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and a significant demographic change, with deaths expected to exceed births within the coming decades. In an interview with Guardian Australia political editor Tom McIlroy and economics editor Patrick Commins, Chalmers discussed the outlook for the Australian economy and explained why he believes Labor’s policy plans can help the country adapt to an increasingly uncertain future.
