Australia 2020 Summit: Bold Vision Sought

In article by Matthew Franklin of The Australian titled ‘Business Issues Reform Wish List’ (7 April 2008), the BCA submission to the Australia 2020 Summit, Anticipating Success, is discussed.

‘Business will ask the Rudd Government’s 2020 Summit to back fundamental reform of business regulation and state taxes, while rejecting protectionism in trade policy. Business leaders want the summit to accept that the nation’s infrastructure needs can be properly met only by smashing government monopolies and making it easier for the private sector to invest in basic services such as the provision of water.’
