The Treasurer says there’s no money tree & we all have snap back soon, throw people back into poverty, remove free childcare & stop supporting people’s wages.

What rubbish.

There is a money tree, it is called the economy and the gov needs to water it with public investment.
There will be no automatic recovery from this crisis.

Government must borrow & invest further to get things to a better normal.

Gov will need to go further into debt to fund nation-building and planet-saving projects

We must invest to recover.
If all we do is cut, the pain will be prolonged.

And some sectors of the economy may never be able to go back to ‘normal’.

To avoid a lost generation of young people smashed by this crisis, we can’t cut further.

But if we borrow further to invest, we can rescue the future.
