Phil Usher
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
Taking a gamble to steady the ship as chief executive of First Nations Foundation, Phil Usher has turned it into a more secure, self sustaining entity, far better equipped to empower First Nations people to achieve financial prosperity. Andrew McKean writes.
Increasing the Age Pension age from 2035 is hardly heroic and will do little to solve the supposed problem we face today. By 2035, life expectation will have increased by at least 5 more years compared to today so the Government's arguments hold no basis. The Age Pension is the heart of Welfare and was the first major welfare benefit in the western World. As such, it should be the last to be changed. It accounts for only 10% of Government outlays and there are many more hollow logs befor tackling this one.
The Government has completely confused itself and the public about what problems we are facing, short term vs long term, and which initiatives will address which challenges.
