Opinion piece: Economy needs its zip back

Date

A generation ago, rules in some states governed when bakers could bake their bread. Many families had to do their grocery shopping in a mad rush on Saturday morning before stores closed for the weekend. Energy markets were run by inefficient monopolies, and the electricity grid was much less joined up across states than it is now.

The result was less competition and higher prices.

ADAM SHIRLEY:

One man who had a very clear line of sight on a lot of the Federal Government’s decisions, spends, cutbacks and ultimately final Federal Budget for this year is Dr Andrew Leigh, the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury. He’s also the Federal Member for Fenner here in the ACT. Dr Leigh, thanks for your time today.
