Albanese deflects on labelling China a threat, backs strategic diplomacy, and says Australia alone will decide defence spending based on need.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a new economic reform roundtable to be held in August, aiming to bring together key figures from business, unions and industry in what he describes as a “streamlined dialogue” to boost productivity, wages, and economic resilience.
Speaking at the National Press Club on June 10, Albanese said he had tasked Treasurer Jim Chalmers with convening the forum to “support and shape” the government’s productivity agenda.
