In experiencing significant headwinds, including the global pandemic and ensuing economic constraints, the state of Australian business has proven to be able, agile and resilient. Yet compounding challenges reveal that we must not take our strong position for granted.
Ahead of the federal government’s September Jobs and Skills Summit, Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar will address the National Press Club, outlining the business community’s agenda for future economic reform.
This renewed agenda must urgently address the supply constraints holding back our economy. We must build capacity, transform our gridlocked industrial relations system, and revitalise productivity so that all Australians can benefit from increased opportunity.
