Part 7/9:
National Senator Matt Canavan highlighted the importance of addressing red tape, expressing relief that the issue is finally receiving attention. However, he also criticized the government's recent proposals, noting that since the announcement of the productivity roundtable, the dominant responses have centered around increasing taxes rather than tackling regulation or structural reforms.
Meanwhile, the debate extends to broader economic strategies. The government’s suggestions include utilizing artificial intelligence to modernize industries, but critics argue that there needs to be a balanced approach that considers workforce well-being alongside technological advancement.
