Competition with compassion - Australia's economic success story
30th May 2005
Conference
Di Yerbury Lecture
Sydney
Summary
The most recent OECD economic survey of Australia declared that in “the last decade of the 20th century Australia became a model for other OECD countries”. It is a report card which confirms that the sacrifices which went into stripping back protection and making all sectors of the Australia economy more competitive have, for the most part, been worth it.
