Infrastructure Australia chief Philip Davies has lashed the government and big business for failing to tackle population planning, warning Australia’s standard of living was being put at risk by policy short-sightedness.
Mr Davis has urged the government to stabilize the energy market and plan for a rapidly growing population, which is expected to add a city the size of Canberra each year for the next three decades.
Mr David says many of the anxieties brought by a growing population by rapid population growth could be solved by identifying the best population pathway over the next 30 years.
