The Next Economy
We're transforming the Australian economy into one that enables people and the planet to thrive. This means ensuring that the way we produce, consume, exchange, work and manage surplus... - Improves the wellbeing of all people by ensuring they have what they need to thrive; - Creates meaningful opportunities for everyone to be able to contribute and prosper; - Protects and regenerates the natural systems on which we all depend; - Reduces and absorbs carbon emissions across all sectors to achieve net positive emissions; - Addresses structural inequalities and historical injustices to ensure that the benefits and costs of economic activity are shared equitably; and - Builds the resilience of regional communities so they are able to manage the impacts of external shocks.
