 Sharp drop in commodity prices but likely to have bottomed out
 Impacts on profits, tax and investment
 $A still higher than policy makers want

Overseas Monetary Policies Remain Very Stimulatory
 Aim of most Central banks is to Increase Inflation to 2%
 Cash Rates:
 Financial Repression: Force savers to spend
 European Central Bank and Bank of Japan using Quantitative Easing
 Cash and Bond Rates at record low levels
 Official Cash*: ECB -0.2%; Japan 0.1% Bank of England 0.5%, USA 0.25% *
 10 Year Govt Bonds*: UK 1.89%, Germany 0.63%, France 0.92%, Japan 0.39%,
 Keep retail deposit and loan interest rates very low: USA eg
 Mortgages*: 30 Year fixed 3.92%, variable 3.36%; New car loan 5 years at 2.93%
 *CMA 0.35% (>$50,000), 5 year CD 1.45%, 10 year Bonds 2.136%
 Quantitative Easing
 To continue in Europe and Japan.
 Buying long term public and private debt
 Additional offset to Budget deficit reductions
 Bond rates moving up in anticipation of USA cash rate rise and 2014 overdone fears of
European deflation

The South Australian Outlook
 Small, Regional Economy: 1.7 million people
 Smaller than Western Sydney or Brisbane, Irrelevant nationally
 Population older & ageing faster, sicker, less educated or skilled
 Housing, retail, tax base, attitudes, national representation
 No Exports, No growth
 Industry structure and policy makers still adapting from 1960s, let alone for 21st C challenges
 No private sector employment growth since 2010
 More international competition and More opportunities
 Public finances rely on Federal Support
 Lower per capita income, slower population growth
 Large Public Sector, Higher taxes, High Deficits & Growing Debt for decades
 Large and Low Productivity Public Sector, High Deficits, Increasing Tax Burden & Growing Debt
 ALP sees big public sector and high taxes as politically acceptable
 Liberals not a small government party
 Likely less support from Federal Govt and Other States
 Don’t criticise the Government but it is starting to recognize change is needed
 Royal Commission on Nuclear Fuel Cycle is a beginning

Where we are headed: SA Population Projections
Implications for the Economy and Business
o Prime working age population 20–59 years to rise 37,200 to 2021 (0.4% pa)
• Assumes Net Overseas Immigration of 12,000 pa, ie 120,000 to 2021
• If we slow migration, Working Age population falls over next decade
• To get your businesses to grow you will need:
• Increased workforce participation, ie more old people and females working
• Participation of Males is trending down: late 70s peak 80% to current 68%
• Females has risen from late 70s 45% to current 56%
• Ongoing higher productivity growth – recently flat to lower nationally
• Increasing overseas sourced workers and outsourcing
• Ageing population
• By 2030 those over 60 will exceed those 0 – 19, or 20 – 39, or 40 – 59
• Likely bigger market for Last Home Buyers than First Home buyers
• Land, Staffing, Training, Investment, Land and Cost issues for institutional aged care
• Health care issues for Baby Boomers wanting to stay mobile longer
• Education, Entertainment, Employment, Politics, Tax, Travel
• More expected of the public sector but Boomers not willing to pay

SA Budget: Priorities, Themes & Issues
o Quotes from the Treasurer’s Budget Speech
“Most comprehensive state tax reform in South Australia’s history“
“Jobs are the centre piece”
“Our tax reform package is about rewarding activity, the doers, the risk takers, the small business owners,
entrepreneurs, our miners and explorers, the start-ups, new and long established family businesses, our farmers and
primary producers, our retailers, our developers, our service industry, corporates large and small and most
importantly our manufacturers.
Every single business and enterprise in South Australia whether, big or small, can benefit from these changes.
This government’s tax reform, stands our state out as a beacon for business investment.“
o Big Picture tax reform is too hard and to be part of National Tax Reform

Summary
o Budget outlook saved by increased GST relativities
• Recognition of economic weakness now and to come
o Tax changes are welcome but hardly scale of what was expected
• Lack of recognition of cost to employment and profits of Payroll Tax
• Most of SA’s taxes unlikely to provide real growth
• Dependence on GST and kindliness of other States and Feds is a risk
o Spending
• Increasing rigidity with growing real spending on Health and Education
• Public service employment continues to grow
• Patterns of spending reducing flexibility and capacity for tax reform and industry support
o Risk of Credit rating being cut.
• Being saved only by Federal Govt backing
o The SA economy is struggling with structural and cyclical changes
• The focus has to be outward, on being more competitive and adaptive and on strongly lifting productivity
• Budget not brave enough on those issues

  • 55. Summary o Budget outlook saved by increased GST relativities • Recognition of economic weakness now and to come o Tax changes are welcome but hardly scale of what was expected • Lack of recognition of cost to employment and profits of Payroll Tax • Most of SA’s taxes unlikely to provide real growth • Dependence on GST and kindliness of other States and Feds is a risk o Spending • Increasing rigidity with growing real spending on Health and Education • Public service employment continues to grow • Patterns of spending reducing flexibility and capacity for tax reform and industry support o Risk of Credit rating being cut. • Being saved only by Federal Govt backing o The SA economy is struggling with structural and cyclical changes • The focus has to be outward, on being more competitive and adaptive and on strongly lifting productivity • Budget not brave enough on those issues
