[Hastie] said social media was full of “strong and pronounced” anger about corporate profits, from all sides of politics.

Pointing to Norway’s sovereign wealth fund – the largest in the world, with assets worth more than $US2.2tn ($A3.2tn) – Hastie said Australia needed to better plan for its own economic future.

“I’d love to see an Australian sovereign wealth fund that sets us up for generations to come."

Nice to hear something positive from the Opposition.

You could be right but our economic landscape is going to change so much, from all accounts, it is important imo that Labor does this asap to cushion Australia from the fallout.
