Yes, I’m now getting a number of messages from folks whom I assume to be public servants in the ether who have been unable to watch the webcast of the prime minister’s address. I’ve directed the feedback to where it needs to go.

Turnbull is now taking questions from the floor.
A public servant from immigration points out that innovative policy requires risk taking, but the media cycle is all about gotcha moments. How do you navigate that?
The prime minister says you develop policy which is your best assessment in the circumstances. If it doesn’t work, dump it. If you see good things somewhere else, then plagarise them.
Malcolm Turnbull
The obligation is to do the right thing by the Australian people. This is how the real world operates, every business is constantly calibrating ... (if things don’t work) they change them. Organisms that are not changing are dead.
Next question is from a foreign affairs official who picks up on the PM’s comments about women in the executive. Is he in favour of targets?
Malcolm Turnbull
I’m certainly in favour of targets. If you have a target you have to report on it and if you are missing it people will ask why.
He says role models are very important. In his government, Julie Bishop and Marise Payne are role models. Michaelia Cash in employment is showing great leadership. He says managers need to look at road blocks to equality, and remove the barriers.
Mentoring, role models, flexibility are very very important elements. Men have to be strong champions of change.

This is quite an interesting speech from Turnbull. He says the public service has to prioritise collaboration. He urges his audience to think flexibility about policy, to have the capacity to know various policies are or aren’t working, and respond accordingly; to strike a balance between the insights of senior people and the ideas of young, tech savvy recruits. The prime minister says the APS needs to champion continuous improvement: the government has high expectations of its advisers, but also recognises respectfully the commitment of people who often dedicate a whole professional lifetime to serving the Australian public. I’m sure these words might seem a bit glib to a public servant sitting in the audience, battered by the impact of efficiency dividends and constant budget cuts, but there’s some interesting concepts in the speech.

The prime minister is currently talking to public servants in Canberra.
I can tell you that my government knows and respects the true value of the Australian public service. We know that we are fortunate to have at our disposal the knowledge, the experience, the passion of people who’ve chosen to serve the government of the day and, in turn, the Australian community who put them there.
With that said, Turnbull says the public service needs to prioritise developing leadership skills and it also needs to do more to ensure gender equality at the executive level. Part of that is creating a culture that allows employees to work flexibly, using technology, to ensure they achieve a reasonable work life balance.
Malcolm Turnbull quotes Jack Ferguson, former deputy premier in New South Wales, father of the Labor brothers Martin and Laurie, who once told him that peace on the home front is worth 10% on the basic wage.
That gets a laugh in the room.

Another interesting story from Gareth about the outlook for global growth. In a speech in New York on Tuesday, the Reserve Bank governor, Glenn Stevens, has warned that the inability of governments and central banks to lift global growth prospects is the “biggest vulnerability” facing the world’s financial system today. “He says global growth must be Australia’s focus but the country also needs to realise that central banks are running out of firepower and government policies must start carrying more of the burden.”Another interesting story from Gareth about the outlook for global growth.

Stevens touched on the subject of helicopter money. If this is a new concept to you, it basically means central banks providing stimulus direct to people’s bank accounts in an effort to tempt them to spend. This idea is gaining currency in countries where growth is low and there’s no room to move with interest rates. But Stevens doesn’t sound like a fan of the concept. “Stevens said he did not believe economic conditions were that desperate, yet, and governments should still be focusing on funding growth-enhancing infrastructure projects while borrowing costs were so low.”Stevens touched on the subject of helicopter money.

Just an aside. If you listen to what passes for an economic debate in Australia at the political level in Australia, you do notice a certain disconnect in content. There are big, serious, important debates at the global level that aren’t really penetrating in this country at all. We are still locked in sound bites, signifying very little.Just an aside.

To other stories in the news cycle, an interesting story from my colleague Gareth Hutchens, who reports that new research has revealed 76 of Australia’s biggest multinationals pay an average effective tax rate of just 16.2% – half the corporate tax rate. “It has also discovered the commonwealth government lost $5.4bn in potential tax revenue in 2013 and 2014 from those same companies, as they shifted billions of dollars in profits offshore. Corporate tax experts from the University of Technology, Sydney, have worked with the activist group GetUp! to examine the financial records of the top 100 multinational corporations with operations in Australia. They say large pharmaceutical corporations are paying the lowest effective tax rate at just 5.7%, compared with 7.5% for hi-tech corporations and 20% for energy corporations. Australia’s official corporate tax rate is 30%.”To other stories in the news cycle, an interesting story from my colleague Gareth Hutchens, who reports that new research has revealed 76 of Australia’s biggest multinationals pay an average effective tax rate of just 16.2% – half the corporate tax rate. “It has also discovered the commonwealth government lost $5.4bn in potential tax revenue in 2013 and 2014 from those same companies, as they shifted billions of dollars in profits offshore.

When you see the ads, you will see the scenarios put together.

When a woman or girl has been hurt, we’ve got to stop saying: “it’s just boys being boys”. Again, it’s all about changing those attitudes at a young age that can ultimately lead towards disrespect to women, which can then lead, of course, to violence against women and their children.When a woman or girl has been hurt, we’ve got to stop saying: “it’s just boys being boys”.

The point of the ads is to break habitual behaviour and responses, particularly those that we end up teaching to young men and boys, which all of the research tells us are a foundation stone for later behaviour which results in violence being occasioned against women.The point of the ads is to break habitual behaviour and responses, particularly those that we end up teaching to young men and boys, which all of the research tells us are a foundation stone for later behaviour which results in violence being occasioned against women.
So the notion is, in essence, this: if you have a situation where one in six women experience physical or sexual violence and the research tells us we have a concurrent situation where one in four young people who don’t think it’s serious if a guy, who is a normally quiet fellow, hits his partner when he is drunk, then those two outcomes must be linked.So the notion is, in essence, this: if you have a situation where one in six women experience physical or sexual violence and the research tells us we have a concurrent situation where one in four young people who don’t think it’s serious if a guy, who is a normally quiet fellow, hits his partner when he is drunk, then those two outcomes must be linked.

Readers with me yesterday know that Labor over the course of the evening used the opportunity of the special sitting to foist a couple of nasties on the Turnbull government – most particularly a new inquiry into donations in New South Wales.

The government is thundering about precedents, and reasonably so, because this is a highly unusual turn of events. I suspect, however, the government’s complaint would have more credibility if it had not taken the decision to convene royal commissions that called a couple of former Labor prime ministers before them to explain their conduct. The lesson to learn from winner-take-all politics is it’s definitely contagious.The government is thundering about precedents, and reasonably so, because this is a highly unusual turn of events.

And quite apart from the politics, the problems with Australia’s donations disclosure regime are serious, and our political system seems incapable of responding to them.

As Martin notes, Labor has promised to cut the income threshold for more heavily taxing contributions from $300,000 to $250,000. “The Coalition now plans to cut it to $180,000.
