Panel of Fair Work Australia that
low inflation, the high dollar, imminent
business cost rises and weakness in

Statement
by Peter Anderson, Chief Executive
Tonight’s federal
budget is ambitious for Commonwealth
finances but lacks vision for the
broader economy.
It is strong in its
ambition to repair government finances,
limited in its support for the economy
and spoilt by its intention to proceed
with the carbon tax and failure to
deliver the promised company tax cut.

TRANSCRIPT
JOURNALIST: The Federal
Government is preparing for what it
says will be its toughest budget yet.
The Treasurer wants to make good on
his promise to return the budget to
surplus, and he says that will mean
pain warning of new spending cuts.
Well that’s upset the big end
of town which worries business tax
exemptions will first be in the firing
line. Our political reporter Latika
Burke is in Canberra and she’s
joined now by the Chief Executive
of the Australian Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, Peter Anderson.

“It is time
for both political parties to stop
the uncertainty in the lead up to
the election, and make a firm commitment
to completing the Chatswood to Parramatta
Rail Link,” said Willoughby
City Mayor, Pat Reilly.
Following the recent
federal election promise on the rail
link, Willoughby City Council is concerned
the project might be abandoned or
delayed by the Opposition and the
necessity of the link to the Chatswood
CBD might get overlooked once again.
