Sustainability Documents

The following documents may be of use in understanding some of the arguments and background assumptions and calculations that my conclusions about sustainability have been based on.

The videos use lots of generalisations and summaries of the factors, so these documents can provide many of the details.

Ross Gittins – How Growth can make us Worse off

Richard Denniss – How Economists and Politicians use EconoSpeak to mislead the Public

1-Eric Claus – Migrant Intake Public Inquiry Submission

Jane O’Sullivan – Submission to Productivity Commission on migrant intake – Economic factors of immigration

Katharine Betts – Facade of Intergenerational Report

It is also important to understand what the opponents of policy changes that would make us more sustainable believe. The following are some documents produced by those who don’t believe we should make changes to be more sustainable:
