#EconomicReformRoundtable
Most Australians with #osteoarthritis miss out on proven care - costing $4.3B/yr, 75% on avoidable surgeries. Evidence-based programs could save $1B+, cut pain & boost productivity.
At #EconomicReformRoundtable we urge investment in better care.

Good piece by #MichelleGrattan on #EconomicReformRoundtable. It was splendidly led by #JimChalmers but my take is delegates had no idea of quality of life to which voters aspire. They danced around fire.

Addressing anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination should be on the Albanese Government's agenda for its Economic Reform Roundtable, to be held later this week.

Economic reform?
Well, how about winding back the "reforms" of the #LNP and the traitor, Hockey and reestablishing heavy industry so we can be self sufficient and not need to rely on the unreliable Yanks?
