Data from the Parliamentary Budget Office shows that Australia’s net debt has risen to $31,400 per capita over the last decade. Net debt per capita totalled just $8,600 at the federal level in 2013-14, but this is forecast to reach $21,300 in 2023-24. Across the states and territories, net debt per person was just $2,000 in 2013-14, and is slated to reach $11,200 in the current financial year. Victoria has recorded the biggest increase in net debt per capita among the states over the last decade, ahead of NSW and South Australia.
