The AFR continues to rot from the head as Editor Michael Stutchbury today debases the legacy of Bob Hawke and Paul Keating:
Under Bob Hawke and Paul Keating in the 1980s, Labor’s wage “Accord” with the unions deliberately cut real wages to restore the profit share of national income, stimulate business investment and promote job growth.
…Labor’s mostly orthodox – some would call neo-liberal – policies such as free trade and privatisation set up Australia for two decades of unprecedented prosperity from the early 1990s. Australian workers prospered from globalisation.
