Director of IPP, David Wilson, says a number of policy choices are being floated in election year designed to balance the books and strengthen the economy. " We've heard about cuts to early childhood education, policies to increase savings and overseas investment, redirecting housing investment and privatisation of SOEs is another. So what do we know? What have we learned? What is the public interest?
