Gorton Sets Out Australia's Inflation Challenge
The Prime Minister outlines how 1970 price rises and a 1.4 percent wage award threaten inflation. He calls for reducing government spending, cautious credit, and restraint in private investment, while stressing that wage and tax actions must align with production growth to avoid higher prices. He warns against abrupt tax or rate hikes and urges a balanced plan with long-term inflation control.
