BCA Policy Vision for Australia

‘It is a sad indictment of the poverty of ideas in Australian politics that the most comprehensive vision articulated for Australia over the next three years comes not from a political party but from the Business Council of Australia, which has set the goal for Australia to rank among the top five OECD economies in living standards by 2012. This is a bold target and it is achievable but only if governments are prepared to grasp the nettle of reform.’

From editorial titled ‘The Vision Thing Scarce in Politics: The Boldest Plan for our Future Comes from the BCA’, The Weekend Australian, 6–7 October 2007, p. 18.
