A bigger table needed!

The Federal Treasurer’s economic reform roundtable needed a wider range of voices, including those representing lower income Australians. More seats at the roundtable and a bigger table!

The theme should have centred on ‘made in Australia’ with sessions on ‘designed in Australia’ and ‘marketed in Australia’.

The government is looking for new ideas to stimulate the economy to add to its policies, and for support for any new measures it can introduce in this term or in the next government. The key sessions were on productivity, business resilience and budget sustainability, but tax changes were off the table.
