Kelty condemns Labor failure on economic growth

Trailblazing former union leader Bill Kelty has a tough message for the Albanese government. It has no plan for economic growth and no appetite for the big reforms to secure Australia’s future.

Bill Kelty, one of the architects of Australia’s modern prosperity, argues Labor must dramatically reshape its economic agenda to lift productivity and provide greater fairness and opportunity to the younger generation.

“We need a Labor Party in which the big issues are confronted,” he said, describing the Albanese government as instead being “mired in mediocrity”.
