Chief Economist

Both Angus Taylor and Jim Chalmers are in Melbourne as guests of Sky News and the Business Council of Australia and the Small Business Organisations of Australia for a debate.

This is as home field advantage as Taylor could get – not surprisingly he has declined any opportunity to debate at the Press Club.

Angus Taylor led off talking about the decline in living standards, Chalmers responded by talking up the low unemployment rates, rising real wages and decrying those “talking down” the economy.

Both thanked those in the room for their efforts and work etc. So no I don’t think we are about to hear any talk of the need to tax company profits more.
