James Deverell finishes on a humbling note:
"We can achieve an Outlook Vision with bold action. Institutions can regain public trust with a long term view. It's not just economic growth: What's at stake here is nothing short of the future of our great country."

Under the Outlook Vision of the #AusOutlook2019 ...
- GDP per capita could grow by 2.8 per cent annually.
- Wages could be 90 per cent higher in 2060.
- Greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced to ‘net zero’ by 2050.
- Energy use could increase by as little as 6 per cent.
