Treasury’s Seventh Intergenerational Report, a 40-year forecast of Australia’s economic and demographic future, is intended to establish a non-partisan platform for debate over the country’s major challenges. POLITICO interviewed six federal politicians aged 31 to 65 about their reactions as political fragmentation intensifies. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said accelerating change is widening political division. Polling cited in the report indicates that an average 52% of Australians would vote for neither the governing Labor Party nor the conservative Coalition opposition, while only 26% believe Australia is moving in the right direction.
