If we could reach consensus on the three fundamental priorities, we will have made huge progress towards a more prosperous Australia.
. I believe we can. It must start by agreeing on the kind of society and country we want to be and the structures and policies to get there.
The world we live in is volatile, complex and increasingly technology-driven so there are three priorities at the summit where we need to find common ground.The first area is finding consensus on how we diversify and strengthen our economic base – which is what we do and produce – so that we can grow.
Productivity is about creating more value by doing things differently, by using technology, putting improved systems in place and doing processes in new ways. It’s driven by innovation, investment and invention.It’s about better training and skilling people, greater collaboration, people working together to solve problems, and bringing out the best in people.
Moving on to our everyday lives, in other industries embracing new ways of working and technology has unlocked additional value and importantly, improved services for people.Advertisement Without productivity gains driving a stronger, more resilient and growing economy, we’re left squabbling among ourselves over ever diminishing returns.The last decade was the slowest in 60 years for productivity and income growth. This isn’t a coincidence.

Nationals hold first post-election meetingThe Nationals are accusing the federal government of ignoring regional jobs as part of its upcoming Jobs Summit. The party has held its first federal council meeting since the election. Nationals Leader David Littleproud claims the regions are being treated as an afterthought. “This government has an opportunity to show that their mantra, governing for all Australians, is true,” Mr Littleproud said. “And that they listen to us and listen to regional Australians, but they’re off to a shaky start when they didn’t even bother to invite regional Australia. “We feel like we’re the forgotten Australians, and that’s why the Nationals have made a pragmatic view to turn up and to prosecute our case for regional Australia at the Jobs Summit.”
