Thank you Mr Speaker, I move that this Bill now be read a second time.
For many years now, as our economy has gone through major changes, Australians have had to dig deep to keep our economy on the right track.
During this time we have consistently outperformed the top advanced economies in the world.
However, not all Australians have shared in this hard won growth. Many remain frustrated at not getting ahead.
This is especially true in areas where technological change, globalisation and the end of the mining investment boom has had a significant impact.
