Measuring What Matters

There was an article in “The Conversation” this morning about the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, planning to release a statement called “The Measuring What Matters” statement. It’s a plan to track wellbeing using about 50 indicators of how Australians are doing. Chalmers said the traditional economic metrics – GDP, income, employment – didn’t tell the whole story. Other things also mattered. No shit, Sherlock.
