There’s more to it than that simplistic statement but that would be my take. Co-opting industry to be part of it would be hugely beneficial and it would support growth and wealth.

I go back to the time of Menzies, borrow to invest and invest to improve. And grow. Government can’t do without business and business is a liability without Government strategy and planning. Currently they rape Australia for shareholder value and nothing else. Jobs? Please; the opportunities here are massive with proper intervention, stimulus, strategy and planning (not all in that order).
