A Message
from the Prime Minister to G20 Finance Ministers Meeting & Western
Australian Senate Election
Sunday, 23 February 2014
Finance ministers from the world’s
biggest economies have just been meeting in Sydney.
Australia is the chair of the G20
this year - and the finance ministers have been working on how to encourage
growth and jobs right around the world.
These G20 finance ministers
represent 85 per cent of the world economy and 75 per cent of total world
trade. Their focus has been on freeing up funding for new and better
infrastructure right around the world.
This G20 aims to be so much more
than a talk-fest. Our aim is to make a real difference to the lives of families
and small business people around Australia and indeed around the wider world.
Creating more job opportunities
and helping families with cost of living pressures is at the heart of our
economic plan and it’s at the heart of our message to world leaders.
Scrapping bad taxes like the
carbon tax and the mining tax, cutting red tape, improving productivity and
opening up export markets with Free Trade Agreements will be good for
Australia.
Indeed lower taxes, less
regulation and freer trade will help all countries to boost their growth and
help their people.
Now, soon there will be a special
Senate election in Western Australia. It will be an election to give the people
of Western Australia a vote for a strong team that will stand up for West
Australians.
The West Australian Liberals have
proven that they are always prepared to stand up for their state.
Western Australia has carried the
rest of the country through tough economic times and it’s now time we got rid
of anti-Western Australia taxes like the carbon and the mining tax. So, at this
coming election, Western Australians have a chance to make this happen and to
tell the Senate to get on with the job. |
