Australia is falling behind in the global contest for new investment. We cannot ignore the reality that we operate in a global economy. We simply have to remain competitive to attract investment.

Business investment is a core driver of economic growth and prosperity.

It would be a decision to continue imposing self-inflicted harm on the Australian economy, workers and households. We cannot afford not to pass this Bill.
