Last Post: Productive economy a great idea, but where’s the action?

Let’s do what the headline says (“Albanese’s reform call: let’s get down to business”, 4/7). Repeal Tony Burke’s IR legislation and Chris Bowen’s energy policies for starters.

The Prime Minister wants to reform business; a good place to start would be to jettison net zero, overhaul industrial laws and reinstate the Australian Building and Construction Commission.

Hallelujah, the Prime Minister has an epiphany “for big and small business owners to be the primary drivers of the economy”. Prime Minister, first you need to clear the roadblocks of high energy cost and labour flexibility for your vision to succeed.

I’ll back Anthony Albanese’s economic reform roundtable – just as soon as I get my $250 power rebate cheque so central apparently to his 2022 economic reforms.

Anyone would think there was an election around the corner with our Prime Minister’s stirring call about the government “doing less”, driving growth and aspiring for a dynamic and productive economy. But hang on, isn’t this the bloke who gave us everything he now wants to change?

Ross McDonald, Gordon, NSW

If only Albo’s words were deeds.

There’s something contradictory about Albanese’s call for productivity increase and his IR policy.

So the Prime Minister wants government to facilitate private sector investment, with the private sector to do more and the government to do less. So why have he and the Treasurer been doing the exact opposite for nearly four years?

Having an offshore bank account doesn’t mean you are a bad person hiding your money from authorities, but now it seems mandatory for good people to safeguard their wealth from ever-greedy governments.

Shaun Turner articulates brilliant common sense, succinctly explaining why the LNP failed so badly in the May election (“Sacked council worker: it’s time for a clean sweep”, 4/7). If he’s looking for a new career, he’d be a great asset in politics: an ace vote-winner, an ideal new leader for the LNP.
