Uh I can't think of a single measure that is more likely to boost GDP. matched

uh then radically reducing the tax rate on new investment. matched

The reason our productivity and uh productivity growth and our GDP growth has been so slow is because we have relatively low levels of investment, particularly you know when you look at it capital per worker. matched

We lag way behind the United States. matched

We lag behind most most of the OECD on these kinds of measures. matched

Uh so we need to get higher rates of investment. matched

Uh this is almost guaranteed to produce it. matched

You're not just getting a tax rate. matched

uh a a a broader tax rate cut, you're just getting it o when you actually invest the money. matched

I think we have to pay attention to the the corporate tax rate at the same time because this measure is going to improve the incentive to make the marginal investment. matched

But we also have to one eye on on getting people giving people the incentive to locate in the country in the first place. matched

And the broader tax rate, the corporate tax rate is important for that. matched

But that being said, this is g this is uh the the best single thing they have done or any government's done in recent times. matched

To improve the likelihood of higher rates of investment, higher rates of productivity growth, higher rates of GDP growth. matched

So if I was gonna borrow for anything. matched

Mm-hmm. matched

Uh it it it would be to to pay the cost of something like this, the upfront cost of it. matched

But the broader picture, as you say, is not encouraging. matched

Um and and we're gonna have to see in the upcoming budget uh how serious, if at all, they are about trying to get to come to grips with our deficit and debt situation. matched

They're claiming that their their preferred measure of balancing the operating budget is gonna happen one year ahead of ahead of time. matched
