Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will outline the government’s immediate and long-term economic vision for Australia in a speech he will deliver at a News Corp event in Sydney later today.
Albanese will say Labor, now in their second term of government, must establish an economic plan which will make it “easier for business to create jobs, start and finish projects, invest in new technology and build new facilities”.

“Some of this involves government doing less: clearing away unnecessary or outdated regulation. Eliminating frustrating overlap between local, state and federal laws,” the prime minister will say.
“Yet value also lies in areas where government can do better. Better aligning our investments in TAFE and vocational education, to deliver the skilled workforce employers need. And making sure those vital skills can cross state borders in real time. Working to our ambitious goals in housing and renewables, by getting projects approved and built faster, while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and safety.”
He will also discuss major economic and political issues affecting Australian businesses and households, with speeches from a slew of business heavyweights.
“This is not a task government can, or should, tackle alone,” Albanese will say. “In a strong, dynamic and productive economy, government should be a driver of growth – but not the driver of growth. Facilitating private sector investment and job creation, not seeking to replace it.
“From big employers to the millions of small businesses right around Australia, our government wants you to be able to resume your rightful place as the primary source of growth in our economy.”
