Treasurer

Wayne Swan and the Red Book


The "Red Book" is a confidential document that is designed to bring a newly elected government up to speed with current conditions. The document was obtained by Channel Seven through Freedom of Information (FOI) laws, and it is the first time that it has been made public.. The document reveals that treasury officials recommend that the Australian Government should start a new wave of economic reform similar in ambition to that exercised by the previous Labor government during the 1980s and early 1990s.
