‘An intergenerational tragedy’: Ken Henry on IGR

Former Federal Treasury boss Ken Henry says the Intergenerational Report unveiled by the Treasurer this week is an “intergenerational tragedy” for young tax payers, who will be slugged with the burden of an ageing population.

It comes as he’s delivered a scathing report to the NSW Government, finding ecosystems aren’t adequately protected. He says “environmental considerations have to have primacy” for all governments.
