Our economy needs a new vision and direction

08 April 2015

Reacting to the joint statement yesterday by some of the nation’s peak business groups on the direction of the Australian economy and the lack of action by political leaders over economic reforms, the CEO of the BCCM has called on government and business leaders to work together to build a strong and resilient economy for all Australians. In an opinion piece, Melina Morrison has stressed the need for leaders to be the champions of diversity in the economy and encourage and enable a mix of ownership models.

Promoting the co-operative and mutual business models as a prudent and sensible approach to economic management, Ms Morrison pointed to four key principles within the sector’s economic planning that can be transmitted to the national economy to ensure all Australians enjoy an equal say and a fair share of the pie.
