"In 2023 we should be optimistic about the future but realistic about the challenges we face."
So said the Member for Corangamite Libby Coker in the Australian Parliament's House of Representatives on 6 March 2023.
Libby said, "In 2023 we should be optimistic about the future but realistic about the challenges we face. We have a lot going for us: low unemployment, the beginning of wage growth, and high prices for our products abroad. Confronting the inflation challenge is a core part of our economic plan, as is investing in infrastructure, supporting small business and creating jobs."
