Good economic management requires more than just papering over the cracks in Australia’s economic foundations with unsustainable government spending and loose monetary policy. OPINION by Angela Jackson AustraliaVotes auspol

Productivity fell consistently over the first two terms of the Coalition government. Lifting productivity requires reforms to enhance competition across the economy, and boost investment in research and development. Despite the Coalition government spending billions since the pandemic began to entice businesses to invest more, the results to date have been lacklustre.

When the Coalition came to power in 2013 Australian women were ranked 13th in the world in terms of economic participation. Last year our rank had dropped to 70th in the world. Shifting the burden of taxation away from income and towards wealth and consumption would underpin an economy that is fairer, and ensure governments have the capacity to deliver the services a vibrant economy requires.

As voters look to judge both major political parties on their ability to manage the economy, they should not be distracted by inconsequential differences in budget deficits, or parameters largely outside any government’s control.

Well if you look at all the analysis that has been done over the last few years by independent economists, there actually kinda is a fairly simple answer. Hint: it's not the coalition

In case The Age hadn’t noticed, this govt has been in govt for 8 years and done very little to show for it. Instead they’ve rorted and wasted our $$$. There are real stories to be revealed and real issues to hold them to account for, rather than speculative opinion.
