#055 Extra - The Western Australian Development Index
With Mike Salvaris, Director of the Australian National Development Index
This special extra to episode 55 with Mike Salvaris continues his Ministerial and cross-departmental presentation. We pick up with Mike as he moves from his authoritative global overview on the growing movement beyond GDP, to the nature and status of the proposal being made for a Western Australian Development Index.

“We’re at a point now where we have to choose, between economic growth as we’ve known it, and sustainable progress. This does not preclude economic growth. It just restricts the kind and the importance of it.”
A reminder that a wonderful e-book of this presentation was also published last week, so while you don’t need to, if you would like to follow the visuals as you listen, you’ll find the link to a free download of the book in the show notes.
With thanks to the Minister David Templeman, Director General Duncan Ord and especially to Jodie Holbrook, Liz Toohey, Yvette Peterson and Carol Hodgen at the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. Thanks also to Gareth Andersen & Janith Lokuge for valued assistance with the recording.
