Tim Wilson on the Liberals’ economic vision

About this episode

Tim Wilson discusses the Liberals' economic vision and responds to criticisms regarding migration policy and tax reforms.

In his biggest address so far, shadow treasurer Tim Wilson described the federal budget as an ‘economic earthquake’ at the National Press Club this week. He speaks with political editor Tom McIlroy about Paul Keating’s criticism of the Coalition’s response to Labor’s tax reforms, and defends Angus Taylor’s controversial migration policy – which links housing completion and restricts access to welfare support
