Albanese played down the tensions on workplace relations reform during a speech to the Business Council of Australia in Sydney on Wednesday night.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has told company chief executives he wants to set up a “structured dialogue” with business to canvass future economic reforms, hours after the federal government dismissed calls for a cut to the company tax rate.
In a key message at the beginning of his remarks, Albanese thanked the BCA for its support for the Indigenous Voice and singling out BCA president Tim Reed and chief executive Jennifer Westacott for praise.“At its core, the BCA is an advocate for prosperity, and we believe the Voice will move our nation closer to a future where prosperity is enjoyed by all,” he said.
The government is preparing to set out its agenda on the economy, labour and migration after it releases the Intergenerational Report on Thursday, with an employment white paper and a migration review likely to be issued together in the weeks ahead., Chalmers said this was not on the government’s agenda.
