‘We are better placed’: Assistant Treasurer confident Australia will thrive as a nation

Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones says the Labor government is focused on Australia’s ability to grow as a country despite facing tough times both inside the country and outside of it. “The months ahead will be difficult – there is no doubt about it,” Mr Jones told Sky News Australia. “There’s no country you’d rather be in the world – we are better placed than just about any other country on earth.”
