Bob Hawke often said his 1983 national economic summit set the platform for his years of electoral and economic success.
Australia was in the midst of a deep recession with unemployment at 10 per cent and inflation more than 11 per cent. Over a two-year period culminating in July 1983, the number of Australians officially out of work more than doubled. Unions realised the folly of ongoing demands for huge pay rises way ahead of inflation. Business groups eventually accepted they could no long support the closeted Australian economy of the period.
He has played that out on the international stage over recent weeks. Now he is seeking to do that on an economic platform. Albanese is narrowing his summit to about 100 people. If the Albanese summit is to succeed, given the policy failures of the past decade, different voices need to be aired while concessions will have to be made by those who have had the ear of recent governments.
swrighteconomy I still remember Bob shouting to all and sundry that no Australian child will live in poverty. I don’t think anyone actually believed it.
swrighteconomy He clearly doesn’t have a plan, is holding summits to get ideas, so plagiarising from Hawke is no surprise.
swrighteconomy go Albanese 👍❤️

Greens to push Albanese government to broaden powers of anti-corruption watchdogThe Greens want the federal integrity commission to have broader investigative powers and independent funding. LisaVisentin All this virtue-signalling and grandstanding. How about dealing first with the corruption we know about in Queensland and Victoristan? Oh, that's right, this is all about smearing and persecuting any conservative politicians. P1 LisaVisentin Next it will be the racist voice to parliament, change the flag and Aust Day. Then it will be BLM, Extinction Rebellion, climate change nutters and the fascist Antifa terrorists sowing dissent, political unrest and executing people in the street. Straight out of US Dem playbook. LisaVisentin Nothing regarding ‘corruption’ comes to fruition or is cover-up. Australians are so awake now.
