Andrew Jennings<p>I saw an interview with Luci Ellis (chief economist Westpac). On productivity she argued that in Australia we have regarded productivity as strongly linked to government reforms. In fact it is something that the whole economy needs to address. Makes sense to me. We seem to have a passion for low productivity sectors (real estate) and no enthusiasm for new high tech sectors such as advanced services. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a></p>
