Australia’s foreign investment rules are too restrictive and lag most OECD nations, holding the country back from higher wages and reduced inequality, Labor frontbencher Andrew Leigh says.
“The many advanced countries that are more welcoming to foreign investment than Australia include Britain, Japan, Germany and the United States. Looking in the opposite direction, one of the few nations that has tougher foreign investment screening rules than Australia is New Zealand.“ Making the case for openness to the world, Dr Leigh argues more foreign investment in Australia can help deliver “fatter pay packets” to workers.
“Scarce factors earn higher returns, so banning foreign investment would raise the rate of return for existing capital owners. Since capital is highly concentrated, this would deliver windfall gains to the most affluent.”
BS! Nobody sold as much of Australia, Australian assets than the LNP criminal organization!
Rubbish you want to increase wages, increase corporate tax and make them pay local tax and expect foreign investment you must be in LaLa land. You have to be competitive with other countries none of the above Labor has in mind is attractive to foreign investment.
Won't come under Labor!!
ALeighMP Andrew ...It doesn't work like that in IT. Indian IT multinational companies have business units that act as migration service for Indian employees. The idea is put as many Indian staff into Aussie jobs as possible and on the cheapest wages possible.
Load of rubbish. I work for an Australian Owned Company and they are amazing. It’s sad to see our politicians going this way. We need more local investment and more Local manufacturing
Some more Chinese ….. maybe some oligarchs money too ?
