Australian Treasurer Hockey:

  • G-20 meeting will discuss Fed tapering
  • G-20 to discuss aspirational growth targets
  • need to reduce energy cost to aid manufacturing
  • Australia won’t give handouts to Qantas, need to think carefully about Qantas aid (in other news, Hockey to get the bus back to Canberra)
  • Union crime probe not linked to labour cost-cut push

Hockey speaking on local news radio … without saying much.
