The Australian economy is in its 27th year of continuous economic growth. Unemployment is 5.4 percent. The global economic outlook is bullish yet real wages remain flat. What is Labor’s economic agenda?
Shadow Treasurer, The Hon Chris Bowen MP, outlines the economic reforms the Labor Party intends to implement should they win the next election.
Elected to the House of Reps in 2004, Chris Bowen has been a familiar face in politics for some time. He has served as Treasurer and Immigration Minister in the Rudd and Gillard Governments and as acting Federal Labor leader in the aftermath of the 2013 federal election. He is author of Money Men: Australia’s Twelve Most Notable Treasurers (MUP).
