Relative Return Insider: Could the election landslide prompt more ambitious reforms?
In this week’s episode of Relative Return Insider, AMP chief economist Shane Oliver joins the show to unpack the political and economic implications of the Labor’s sweeping election victory and how much the Liberal Party’s economic strategy played a role in the wipeout.
Oliver suggests the result reflects a rejection of extremism and a renewed appetite for centrist governance, potentially giving Labor the room to pursue more ambitious reforms in areas like taxation and productivity.
