Good morning, The upcoming federal election is the talk of corporate Australia and CEOs are already wargaming how to survive a possible minority government result on May 3. Business leaders say any government pact with the Greens or the teals would set the economy up for disaster and consign Australia to three years of inaction on the critical issues of productivity, housing and living standards. They argue sensible policies aimed at growth and arresting a decade of fiscal deficits can win votes and lift the economy out of its productivity slump. And what’s in the election for investors? Quite a lot actually, says Wealth associate editor James Kirby, with stark differences emerging between the major parties on investment choices - from pensions to superannuation. |
