The Political Mirage Of Labors’ Jobs and the Future of Work’ Speech
As we gear up for another electoral cycle, the “Jobs and Future of Work” speech delivered last Tuesday by Labor leader Anthony Albanese showcased the political ambition of Labor to solve issues relating to our economy, our resource sector and the potential for smart manufacturing.
However, whilst his speech did illuminate the right issues, are his words anything more than just empty promises? On The Daily we were joined by Peter Christoff, Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne who argues that as exciting as Albanese’s speech was, it is important to acknowledge where it fell weak on ideas, facts and proposals.
