Business Council’s ‘competitiveness index’ more of same rubbish

It’s been a long time since the Business Council of Australia, Australia’s worst rent-seeking lobby group, published one of its reports calling for company tax cuts and a return to WorkChoices; ones that are dutifully reported by the media as if every repetition of the same thing is somehow startlingly new.

Kudos to BCA boss Bran Black for trying something different this week: Instead of offering the same nonsense under a different title, he repackaged the same old and decidedly non-vintage wine in a different type of bottle: competitive index.
