The Albanese government is a government that brings people together. It brings people together, sometimes with different views, to talk about what the challenges are and to find a way through. Some of these things are hard, whether it be environmental law, tech regulation, how we build more homes more quickly or engagement across the Commonwealth and the states. These are not easy issues to solve. They require consultation, discussion and, if possible, agreement. That is the benefit of the Treasurer's economic reform round table. I sat in that round table for periods of time over that three days, and I was struck by the level of willingness from good people in this country coming together to talk about national challenges not necessarily in the lane they usually operate in but across the board. That bodes well for our country and our country's future.
