Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has brushed off attacks from Australia’s business community and declared his government was delivering a prosperous economy.
After Business Council of Australia CEO Bran Black claimed Australia was taking “steps backwards” under Labor, Mr Albanese argued the economy has been on a positive trajectory.
The national economy most recently grew at 0.2 per cent in the June quarter – the slowest pace since the 1991 recession.
Despite this, the Prime Minister said on Tuesday: “We’re seeing continued growth. We’re seeing a continued rise in business investment.”
