FWC decision to raise minimum & award #wages by 3.5% is a clear repudiation of ACTU's irresponsible call for 4.5% – but still well beyond what current economic conditions can safely sustain: https://t.co/RXiVxkGz7A #ausbiz#auspol

Australia needs to urgently reform #tax system to stop mounting burden of company & personal taxes that increasingly drags on productive activities in our economy: https://t.co/L3YrSx9BJb #ausbiz#auspol#taxreform
Ai Group has submitted its response to the Strategic Examination of Research and Development (SERD), calling for a fundamental overhaul of Australia's approach to research and commercialisation: https://t.co/BM2iXKaGKP #ausbiz#auspol#commercialisation#Productivity
US #tariffs disappointing but not unexpected. Aust needs to get policy house in order on issues like tax, deregulation & energy – can't thrive in trade war with policy settings internationally uncompetitive, overly complicated, not fit for purpose: https://t.co/ua9YfEwmNP #ausbiz
Ai Group proposes 2.6% minimum wage increase – a responsible balance in a weak economy with negligible productivity growth: https://t.co/xq703mruwl #auzbiz#auspol
Campaign and result of #Election2025 will potentially be a crucial marker in Australia for decades to come. Industry hopes the campaign will focus on the issues that matter to the prosperity of all Australians: https://t.co/o9lGca4AaF #ausbiz#auspol
The #FederalBudget has reinforced that it is time for the hollow #Tax reform promises to end. Policy leaders can't afford to avoid tax reform leading into the next election: https://t.co/amhCoi3CSP #ausbiz#auspol
While containing some commendable measures #Budget2025 fails test of setting up Australia & Australians for prosperity at a time of major domestic & international challenge. Still time before election for these crucial challenges to be addressed: https://t.co/chgly7B8BT #auspol
US #tariffs decision "does send an unfortunate signal about the broader state of the economic relationship between our two countries and sets the scene for more uncertainty in the period ahead": https://t.co/OZwN6A6EFp #ausbiz#auspol#ausecon
Soaring national #wages bill putting increasing pressure on business balance sheets – augurs poorly for return to private sector growth: https://t.co/KcGkNRfmMD #ausbiz#auspol#ausecon
Today's @RBAInfo decision reflects the significant progress made towards restoring stable inflationary conditions – but we must remain on guard for future shocks to our economy: https://t.co/akol7aVlVB #ausbiz#auspol#ausecon
Today's national accounts data shows much of the private sector faces recession-like conditions. It is only a flood of government spending in recent months that is masking the true picture in the broader economy: https://t.co/qJKYKzre3x #ausbiz#ausecon#auspol
"This is a highly cynical and irresponsible dispute orchestrated to cause maximum damage and disruption at the worst possible time": https://t.co/dT8ymmzo3r #ausbiz#auspol#Woolworths
Data released today shows Australia's home #building rates increasing, but there remains much to be done in delivering new #housing in the quantities the country needs: https://t.co/7GxUqXNpyJ #ausbiz#Construction#auspol
Today's data showing unemployment remains steady at 4.1% is one of the bright spots in Australia's economic performance. The issue is this resilience is being driven by government stimulus, distorting Australia's labour market: https://t.co/DSi6TJw9Nz #ausbiz#auspol#ausecon
The Treasurer deserves support for at least starting long overdue national conversation on need to boost #productivity. He now needs colleagues at federal & state level to get serious about fixing the problem: https://t.co/jUdiMHyTw1 #ausbiz#auspol
With inflationary pressures persisting, today's decision by the RBA to hold the cash rate at 4.35% will continue to see Australia's weak #economy constrained by high #InterestRates https://t.co/As1ebcMu1B #ausbiz#ausecon#auspol
