“Today’s results announcement from BlueScope is a reminder of the strength and resilience of Australian industry,” Ai Group Chief Executive, Innes Willox said today.
“It is also a clear prompt to Australia’s Federal, State and Territory governments that investment and jobs can and will escape our shores without a strong focus on policies around energy, innovation, skills, productivity, waste and supporting Australian industry to be real participants in our significant national infrastructure build.
“While the result is a testament to strong management, it should also serve as a wake-up call that without addressing our policy challenges, Australia runs the risk of failing to take advantage of the real strengths that underpin our economy,” Mr Willox said.
