Labor’s national conference in Adelaide is spotlighting unity and practical economic relief as real wages fall, productivity stalls, and government spending outpaces inflation. PM Albanese unveiled new measures — including funding for allied health students and a Fair Work Court — to ease living costs, while economists debate how expanding government roles will be paid for. A push toward European-style needs-based services clashes with Australia’s lower tax base, and former minister Ed Husic’s gas tax proposal faces resistance amid global energy concerns.
