IMO, The Commonwealth Government in conjunction with the opposition and in conjunction with the Reserve Bank and other major economic institutions ought to formulate a rolling 20 year Economic Plan and, like China, tweek it every 5 years.
A 10 year tax plan which assumes that the Trickle Down effect will do it for Australia is sillier that the One Nation economic policy
and is destined to just broaden the wealth gap between the top 5% & the rest; precisely the opposite to what is needed!
This plan would have to feature our natural resources , their exploitation and development within the context of world demand
and then develop infrastructure and human resource education & training to meet the plan's needs.
We have had successive Governments of both Political ilks that have mistakenly believed in a "Free Market' and that the role
of good Government is to blndly follow this so called "Free Market" .
No wonder that the rich are getting richer and the poorer are getting poorer & that there is an overwhelmingly growing
skepticism among the working class that "democracy" in its current form is the way forward !
