An Aussie researcher says Australia's Intergenerational Reports have improved since the first report was released following the Charter of Budget Honesty Act of 1998, but they are still published by the country's treasurer, so continue to lack independence and objectivity. He says further improvements could include a national rather than Commonwealth scope, making the data behind the reports publicly available, and incorporating wellbeing measures that are not based purely on economic markers such as GDP and debt.
