Access Economics. Business Outlook : five year forecasts for business planners, December 2008 [online resource]

"The Federal Budget is buggered. The collapse in commodity prices will, with a lag, mean a collapse in company taxes. But it is not the short term implications of deficits which worry us. It is the longer term risk of chicken-hearted policymaking now that Canberra’s ‘rivers of gold’ are drying up. This nation has legitimate policy goals in education, infrastructure, Federal/State relations, climate change and water management. What it doesn’t have any more is the money to help achieve reforms in those areas." - executive summary.
