Use $10 billion a year to create 500,000 jobs: business | CroweDM

"We don't need just an investment hit for one year – we need a sustained lift in investment across the nation," said Mr Reed, the former chief executive of services company MYOB. The allowance would work as an additional tax deduction for new investment and would reduce the final cost of buying new machinery, equipment or intangible assets.
