'BUSINESS community elder Don Argus has warned that the growth in politically popular welfare spending is unsustainable and youth unemployment is one of the greatest economic challenges confronting Australia.
In a speech to be given in Melbourne today and published exclusively in The Weekend Australian, the former BHP Billiton chairman and National Australia Bank chief executive calls for a national discussion about welfare spending, warning that the pension and health costs of an ageing population will add to the structural pressure on the federal budget.'
Looks like a good speech. Does anyone have a copy of it? I have a copy of the Weekend Australia, but can't seem to find any mention of it.
