But that is not yet a narrative the government has been willing to embrace. Any hopes that the government would register a “proof of concept” return to budget surplus this year and then focus on boosting GDP growth was dashed by Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s remarks to NSW Liberals. He made it clear that ongoing surpluses were at the heart of his economic plan, saying: “It's taken us 12 years— six in our own making—to get this back into surplus this year ...
The difficulty Australia faces, however, is that we have not done much of the planning to roll-out a full-scale green stimulus package of this kind. There may still be time for federal and state governments to develop such a plan. But in the meantime, the emphasis should be on finding projects that are socially worthwhile and shovel ready.
This notion of green stimulus is partially consistent with calls from Australian Greens leader Richard di Natale who has called for environmental spending to stimulate the economy. His plan includes some of what we advocate, for instance a $2 billion-a-year nature fund to employ 10,000 people for habitat restoration and conservation projects around Australia.
