Open and competitive economy

To take on the rest of the world, businesses need an open, dynamic and competitive economy.

A fairer, more competitive tax system is vital so businesses can compete on a level playing field against international rivals.

A better tax system that encourages investment, the creation of high-skilled jobs and entrepreneurship is required.

Our skilled migration program needs to be responsive to business needs.

Australia also needs a modern and flexible workplace relations system with an independent umpire, and an effective safety net that sets out minimum pay, conditions and protections.
