Labor’s recession we didn’t have to have

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Bulletin › Article

Abstract

Federal spending is set to increase to its highest level since the mid-1980s, pandemic spending aside, at 26.6 per cent of GDP. The states and previous governments share some of the blame, but Labor’s federal fiscal strategy is prolonging the cost-of-living crisis with no relief in sight.
