reveals that the leaders of some of the nation’s biggest and most important businesses think the Albanese government got off to a good start, including in stabilising the fractured relationship with China, Australia’s biggest customer.
Yet, the hopes that business may have held in May that the new government would be business-friendly in the model of the Hawke-Keating government are now receding asemerge in the critical areas of workplace regulation and Australia’s net zero carbon transition. There is no sign of a Hawke-Keating-style incentive-sharpening growth and productivity agenda to confront what Australia’s chief executives warn will be a tougher year for the economy amid slower growth, stubbornly high inflation and higher interest rates.Instead, amid the rise of identity politics, Labor’s economic agenda is more about the zero-sum redistribution of wealth from profits to pay packets and from “greedy” resources companies to ordinary punters’ hip pockets.
Bunkum
This Labor Government is rapidly being exposed as a national liaibility when it comes to energy policy. Too many ideologues, too few with real-world experience.
Another AFR hatchet job on the government, sans the contributors acknowledgement If it doesn't rate an author's credit it has zero credibility!
Did you read your own CEO poll today? 🤦♀️
Any government that does not lick the boots of business is unacceptable to the Fortunately most voters are smart enough to realise business needs the occasional push back/restriction/fettering
Anyone who voted for Labor thinking they are business friendly are crazy. Albo is the most left wing leader since Gough to be PM...and Chalmers the most unqualified as treasurer. It's going to be 3 years of populist and economically rubbish policies. The energy plan is just no 1!
