The key drivers of the Australian GM have created conditions that undermine economic equality, drive health inequities, and create excessive GHG emissions that contribute to climate change.

[Nicholas Frank @NicholasVFrank]

We show that the Australian GM has become more reliant on domestic consumption fuelled by rising house prices and a permissive credit environment to drive economic growth.

We analysed the Australian growth model (GM), the politics that sustain this model, and the impacts of the model on people and the planet.

Research from @TheAusInstitute suggests that Australia needs a windfall profits tax. Revenue from the oil and gas sector could be used to fund the transition to a zero carbon economy.

[Nicholas Frank @NicholasVFrank]

Fascinating work by @wendyliy which shows how regulatory capture is a function of both emergence and institutionalization.

@TheAusInstitute latest report on inequality makes for grim reading. From 2009-2019 the top 10% captured 93% of income growth. A key question is how Australia builds a truly inclusive and sustainable growth model that doesn't exclude the vast majority of the population.

@SharonFrielOz @PHEHothouse Preaching to the choir! Injecting real intellectual diversity into the field would only strengthen it. We need more than reheated neo-classical econ to tackle the most pressing global issues.

Incremental change is not sufficient to tackle the structural drivers of #socialinequality and #climatechange – radical and ambitious structural interventions are needed to advance planetary health equity (even if status quo interests don’t like it). https://t.co/zM6HEKe4MF
