The Morrison government wants fresh ideas around tax and IR rather than old debates as its post-virus business adviser backs targeted incentives.

Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe, warning Australia would suffer its biggest downturn since the Great Depression, this week re-iterated calls he made last year for governments to look at ways to boost economic growth as the country emerges from coronavirus-related shutdowns.

"When it comes to tax reform, we have already passed through the parliament more than $300 billion of tax cuts," he said. "So we are absolutely focused on tax reform, as well as broader productivity-enhancing reforms across infrastructure, skills and education, deregulation and of course, industrial relations as well."Alex Ellinghausen

"To enable the Australian economy to successfully navigate out of the current crisis, increased workplace flexibility is essential," he said.

Company tax not economy's silver bullet: Westacott | Sky News AustraliaA revival of the company tax cuts would be welcomed but would not be a silver bullet to revitalising the economy post-coronavirus, Business Council chief Jennifer Westacott says. \n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg on Wednesday laid the groundwork for a return to tax cuts abandoned by Malcolm Turnbull in 2018.\n\nSpeaking with Sky News on Wednesday, Ms Westacott said Australia needed a broad range of pro-business tax reforms to lift productivity. \n\n“I think it is important for us to put it back on the table but along with other tax reform, it’s not the only thing that needs to be done,” she said. \n\n“If you’re going to do these sorts of reforms, you would surely do them now. \n\n'We have to take the reforms that position us for the next 10, 20, 30 years of continuous and strong growth.' \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n
