Women over 55 are the fastest growing group of homeless people in Australia, though men and younger people are much more likely to be homeless, 2016 census data shows. The census data also indicated a much bigger group of women with parlous finances at risk of becoming homeless if they lost casual work shifts or became ill.

It's about time the Australian Government started doing something to assist the poor and homeless rather than helping the rich, writes Noely Neate.

But his words are clear. The economic path we look to be on is not good. The Reserve Bank can do what it can to shift the economy on to a smoother road, but it needs help – a lot of help. Infrastructure spending, and policy work – something this government, which went to an election with basically only a policy of tax cuts that favour the wealthy, is not all that good at doing.

They can start by dropping the faux outrage at people telling them the economy is going downhill and start acknowledging they have a problem that needs fixing.

The green economy is defined as economy that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment. It is closely related with ecological economics, but has a more politically applied focus.[1][2] The 2011 UNEP Green Economy Report argues "that to be green, an economy must not only be efficient, but also fair. Fairness implies recognizing global and country level equity dimensions, particularly in assuring a just transition to an economy that is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive."[3]

Challenges

The World Bank specifies three challenges that limit the potential to develop a blue economy.[11]

  1. Current economic trends that have been rapidly degrading ocean resources.
  2. The lack of investment in human capital for employment and development in innovative blue economy sectors.
  3. Inadequate care for marine resources and ecosystem services of the oceans.

" Populism is undermining Australia as a growing number of politicians ignore the advice of experts, former Treasury secretary Ken Henry has claimed, warning deliberate ignorance is risking the nation's social and economic future.
