A region on the rise
CHDC’s 2025 Business Lunch featured keynote speaker Bernard Salt AM.
Key takeaways from the futurist and economist include:
- Never bet against Australia. With our wealth of natural talents and assets, Australia will continue to be a prosperous country. We effectively have, and are, what everyone else wants.
- We are at peak rebellion politically. One-third of Australian voters now first preference non-major parties, although this is likely to reduce at the next federal election.
- From childcare to aged care. Like Australia more generally, the Central Highlands’ population is shifting from family-focused to one of retirees, as more people opt to stay put in their later years.
