7am · A richer Australia in 2066 – but for who? · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

I'm Ruby Jones and you're listening to seven AM. matched

Australia in 2066 will be older, richer and according to the Treasurer, transformed by artificial intelligence. matched

The latest intergenerational report says despite an aging population, our real incomes will be 55% higher by 2066. matched

And Jim Chalmers says AI will get us there. matched

But the same report says younger Australians aren't seeing the same gains in income, wealth, and home ownership as the generations before it. matched

Mm, which does sort of beg the question though, that when it comes to delivering productivity, how much of what is in this report is actual modelling and and how much of this is is hope? matched

Can we talk some more about what the original purpose of these reports was when the treasurer at the time, Peter Costello, introduced them back in two thousand and two? matched

What were they originally designed to do? matched
