Finance and industry heavyweights including the big banks and major corporations are urging the federal government to invest in health, education, clean energy and urban infrastructure to help the economy recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
The letter was organised by the United Nations affiliate Global Compact Network Australia, which said recovery policies should be consistent with the United Nationsto which the federal government has committed on the international and domestic fronts. "Despite the disruption from the pandemic, all our members are still deeply engaged in these issues, and our financial market regulators tell us we need to consider these things."
The United Nations sustainable development goals include ending poverty and hunger, good health and education, clean water and sanitation, affordable clean energy and reducing global warming, reducing inequality, liveable cities and resilient infrastructure.
Manufacturing too please.
The Govt needs help. It's like uni politics in there. They are just driven by lobbyists and ignorance.
with unemployment at 10% + shouldn’t any Australian over 65 yo be eligible for a pension, would cut the unemployment rate, older people won’t get work anyway, just saying 🤔👍
We can only hope that Morrison and co realise that COVID will mean a complete re-set and a perfect opportunity to address climate change by re-gearing a sustainable economy. We also live in hope. The LNP track record isn't looking good. auspol2020 auspol

The woke displaying their wokeness.
If ever there was time for a reset on a number of issues: edu, health, science, support for the less fortunate, less support for huge corps etc - then this it We're all expecting the fed govt to stop whingeing about cost of the pandemic & use it as a springboard for the future
Silence from the morriscum government will be deafening!
Asking the wrong government
Yep, at the moment we’re training up STEM professionals only for them to walk out to America and China because they actually have sectors that cater to them, greatly benefitting them and leaving us to build houses for immigrants and dig holes
But God says no.
Clean energy is the only way forward
