of course Albanese is doing no such thing.... but this is a nation building policy.
we used to manufacture much of our needed white goods, food, furniture, cars and so much more..... Keating's globalism opened us up to competition and so some businesses complained about the difficulty matching the imported goods prices so Howard told them to "go offshore and take advantage of the lower wages in Asia" .... so off they all went.
a bloomin' disgrace. instead of helping businesses to adapt to the global market Howard was happy to see them leave Aus.
seems to me that the plan now afoot is more repairing of the failures of Liberal lack of interest in economics or the market.
