Clear Economic Plans

"Our clear economic plan is more essential than ever as we enter this period of uncertainty in global markets following the British vote to leave the European Union."

- Malcolm Turnbull

That clear economic plan has increased the deficit by $33 billion in two and a half years and seen Australia go backward in terms of wealth, productivity, jobs growth and trade.

New research by the Australia Institute across a range of economic measures, including economic growth, per capita GDP, employment growth and debt, found the Abbott/Turnbull government to be the worst economic performers since Robert Menzies took power in 1949.

The same research also found that there was little or no correlation between business friendly policies (tax cuts, subsidies, removing penalty rates etc) and economic performance.

But don't worry Malcolm, as one Brexit campaigner leader said, "people are sick of experts".
