What might help Australia come out of lockdown with the chance to build a better future? As Adir Shiffman puts it, we need de-risk the economy by becoming more creatively diverse. A policy reset, one that encourages businesses and a support framework that recognises and distinguishes businesses that can grow vs survive, something beyond the current R&D incentive. Something that recognises that challenges evolve as a business does and great support should also. It could be many a thing — but should be soon if we’re to have a whole lot of Australians with more time on their hands.
