Getting to Grips with the Economy Series

Session 3:
New Times – New Approaches: exploring Australia’s economic options
Thursday 23 July 5-7pm

What awaits the Australian economy beyond the GFC? This session takes the opportunity to debate whether it should be a case of doing what we’ve done but doing it better, or whether we need to pursue new options for strengthening Australia’s economy.

This final session provides an opportunity for bold thought and discussion about the policy decisions and immediate actions that need to be considered and adopted by Australian governments, businesses and individuals amidst the dramas and uncertainties of the global economy

Professor John Quiggin, Australian Research Council Federation Fellow in Economics and Political Science, University of Queensland
