17thBudgetReviewWebinar2022

Fortress Australia finally opened up to international visitors in February 2022 after almost two years of travel restrictions in the management of the Covid pandemic.

So far the Australian Federal Government has managed to keep the economy on track and maintain job growth and general stability, despite the challenges in supply and labour markets.

With Australia now among the highest in the world for vaccination rates, life has almost returned to normal, with travel restrictions and the softening of Covid protocols and reactionary measures.

2022 brings the next federal election and Prime Minister Scott Morrison is falling behind in the polls and staring defeat in the eye. This is not new for him, having defied predictions in 2018 to win an “unwinnable election”.

He has navigated through bushfires, floods and Covid but this election could well be the biggest challenge he has faced.
