Australia suffers a micro-macro chasm

Article Abstract:

Australian exporters tend to have a "micro" focus, while the government, concerned with international agreements, has a "macro" focus. Both levels of focus are important, but a mutual understanding of each sector's position is important, if the country is to benefit. Since Australia's last federal election, Minister Fischer's performance in the trade arena has surprised observers.

Business to miss out in election spending

Article Abstract:

The Australian federal government has about $6.5 bil to spend on measures that attract votes, but business will not benefit from this. Chris Richardson, a director of Access Economics, argues that elections will be close and there is money available to sway voters. Furthermore, because of the healthy economy, business ranks last in spending priorities.
