CMSF 2021 COVID-19

The economic impacts of the pandemic have brought many intergenerational issues into even sharper relief.

This session explored new findings on the driving factors behind rising intergenerational inequality and what can be done to ensure a fairer outcome for younger generations of Australians.

Published Date: 11 May 2021

Speaker

Sonia Arakkal, Founder, Think Forward

Sonia Arakkal is a co-founder of Think Forward – a lobby group for young Australians advocating for intergenerational fairness in the tax and transfer system. Think Forward recognises that successive federal governments have failed to act in the long-term economic interests of young people and aims to keep the interests of the young at the forefront of conversations about tax and economic policy. Think Forward is leading a coalition of youth organisations, economists and the civil sector to call for a parliamentary inquiry into economic intergenerational fairness. Sonia's writing on intergenerational fairness has been published in Fairfax newspapers and she has spoken on the topic on ABC TV and radio.  She is a board member of the Australian Youth Affairs Coalition and Carers WA. She has previously worked as a management consultant and a federal political staffer and is currently a senior analyst at the PerthUSAsia Centre.

Hugh Miller, Principal, Taylor Fry

Hugh Miller is a principal at Taylor Fry who loves data and models. He works in the government sector, providing advice across sectors such as welfare, employment, housing, homelessness and disability. Much of his work is concerned with understanding long-term pathways through government services and how these services interact. He also volunteers at the Actuaries Institute including being part of the Public Policy Committee. Hugh was lead author of the Institute’s 2020 green paper on intergenerational equity.

Facilitator

Emma Thornton, Trustee Director, Statewide Super

Emma is a personal injuries and employment lawyer and is a partner at Adelaide based firm Johnston Withers.
