Yes, I can, Senator White, and I thank you for the question. The Albanese government's economic plan is a plan to boost productivity, take the speed limit off the economy and create the right kind of growth. It will be a key focus of our upcoming jobs and skills summit. Our plans include: investing in cleaner and cheaper energy; better training our workforce through fee-free TAFE and more university places; investing in cheaper child care; boosting GDP through higher workforce participation; upgrading the NBN to begin capturing digital economic opportunities; and creating a future made in Australia with procurement and co-investment plans through the National Reconstruction Fund to stimulate billions of dollars in private investment. This is in line and in step with the direction of the PC's report released today.
