Here is a suggest Tristan

Do what Trump did and will do again.

Cut business and wage earners tax
Decrease the size of Government
Reduce Regulation.
Spend on big infrastructure projects, renewal not new.

I would add:

Defund universities and academia.
Scrap HECs

but what ever you do keep and increase the Cash Flow Boost.

Ttbn,

"Who knows where the recovery will come from, if it comes at all. "

I suppose we will hold you to that. When do you reckon the recovery might come in the US ? This decade ? Different policies, different outcomes.

As for Morrison's policies beng failures, I would have thought that his prompt action and canny collaboration with the states to keep COVID deaths down has been an outstanding success, presaging a relatively rapid economy recovery across the country and promising early commercial link-ups with New Zealand.

Compared to what, you might ask ? Indeed: perhaps compared to the US, with its 106,000 deaths and another 1000-1200 each day, our (i.e. Morrison's) total of just over 100 deaths and single-figure and zero new cases each day look pretty good. Of course, the comparison is unfair, given the utter incompetence of the US leadership: to advise a relaxation of the COVID restrictions while active cases are in the hundreds of thousands is either sheer stupidity or pure evil; take your pick.

And thanks to Morrison (as a leftie, what am I saying ?!), Australia will be back in business while the US is wallowing in the disasters of its second COVID wave, maybe before the end of this year.

Joe

I agree the government's handled covid 19 reasonably well so far. But they don't have a plan for recovery.

Yes, Joe. The fact that you and other lefties are praising Morrison shows what an-out-of-place misfit he is. He gets more like Turnbull every day: Mr. Stand For Nothing, believing in nothing.

Ttbn,

And we'll hold you to that too :)

Joe

No sacrifice need be made by anyone except ideologues like you Tristan, from both sides of the aisle. From your side by all those who like you, mindlessly oppose any form of nuclear power and by virtue of completely bogus, fearmongering ignorance writ large.

And scientific fact ignored because for all the idealogues, scientific facts can be unpalatable and or inconvenient to the established narrative? Or those puppet masters pulling their strings? Murdoch? Newscorp? This or that terrorising shock jock? Next weeks poll?

Recovery? MSR thorium and the world's cheapest power! If you do not understand the implications of energy in the economy and the intended recovery? Then get out of the way and make room at the top for someone who does.

I mean, how long is this vital information to be censored so as to allow the control freak to turn a silk purse into a sow's ear.

Sacrifice? Is that your very best idea?

God give me strength!

Where do these hopeless folk get the idea, they can lead anyone anywhere as long as they wear their self imposed ideological blindfolds and ear stoppers?

Cannot imagine what million-plus, annual medical tourists, would do for rural and regional Australia, the recovery?

Given that would require a changed mindset! Cannot imagine there could be something vastly superior to their preferred renewables given like the coal lobby, there would seem to be, vast vested interest in particular outcomes

And therefore the recovery can go hang itself.

I'll be alright jack and so will the PM with his half a mill plus, annual salary.

Power that costs pennies and an inexhaustible water supply wherever we need it plus inexhaustible gas that we can never ever run out of. Cooperative capitalism as created by the government, employee co-ops! And millions put back to work in import replacing industry!

These are not new ideas by any means, just ignored by those at the top with their grubby grimy hands on the economic levers? Ably assisted by their know nothing advisors?

Go figure?
