Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Grattan Institute states that Australia's national public debt has increased almost fivefold over the last two decades. The report warns that the current tax system may be unable to meet future fiscal challenges from an aging population and increased costs due to climate change, potentially forcing state governments to rely more on federal grants.

Labor has previously promised tax reforms and new social housing while analyzing housing supply challenges in Australia.
