LOS ANGELES, US – Newsaktuell – 25 April 2025 – Australia boasts some of the world’s most sophisticated political institutions and one of its wealthiest economies. But this veneer of success masks deeper structural issues — and a “ticking time bomb” of overreliance on extractive industries must be addressed under Australia’s next government, a new report recommends. Recent polls suggest that the upheaval caused by U.S. President Donald Trump is damaging centre-right political parties in Australia, which could spell defeat for conservative Opposition Leader Peter Dutton (right) and garner a win in the upcoming election for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (left) of the Labor Party, who had earlier been projected to lose. (Photo by Tracey Nearmy/AFP) / The use of this image for editorial purposes is permitted and free of charge provided that all conditions of use are complied with. Publication must use image credits. Cracks have begun to show in the country’s façade of optimism, prosperity and progress, according to an Australia BGI Report on the country’s governance performance, released eight days before the May 3 election. According to the report, the country’s economy continues to rely heavily on environmentally harmful extractive industries, while economic centralization in only a handful of cities has driven up housing costs. Racial tensions, including the displacement of Indigenous populations, remain unresolved. This is resulting in “rising political polarization, deepening inequality and heightening exposure to the deeper geopolitical tensions emerging between the U.S. and China,” said the report. Based on the Berggruen Governance Index (BGI), the report was conducted by researchers from the Los Angeles-based Berggruen Institute think tank, the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Hertie School, a German university. According to the report, Australia has long benefited from favourable economic, geopolitical and demographic conditions. Its cities are ranked as some of the most livable in the world and it scores highly on almost all governance measures in the BGI, which analyzes the relationship between democratic accountability, state capacity and the provision of public goods. But the country isn’t exempt from the same challenges to democracy, prosperity, and social cohesion that similar countries are facing, according to the report. Eroding public trust in government is providing “the backdrop for a hotly contested federal election,” during which the centre-left Labor Party under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is seeking to defend its majority against Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and the centre-right Liberals. While the Labor Party was previously projected to lose after a lacklustre post-pandemic economic recovery, it has recently risen in the polls — a reversal mirroring a similar trend in Canada, in which U.S. President Donald Trump has amplified negative associations with conservatism. Now, the Australian Labor Party is projected to win by a slim margin. Another factor influencing the election is rental affordability, which reached its worst level on record in 2025, according to the REA Group, a company in the real estate industry. This trend is pushing younger voters toward the Australian Green Party, which has made reform on the housing market a central part of its policy agenda, the Australia BGI Report said. However, in the 2022 election, 12 per cent of the national vote translated into just 2.5 per cent of seats for the Greens — a pattern that “could repeat itself in 2025 due to the country’s preferential voting system.” Australia’s electoral system uses a preferential voting system rather than the ‘first-past-the-post’ method common in many other Anglophone democracies, which conceals a “darker history of Indigenous dispossession and racial discrimination.” It’s also one of only 22 countries in the world that require citizens to vote. However, the stresses that have plagued Albanese’s government “will persist regardless of who prevails in May,” said the BGI report. Australia generally resembles wealthy Western European and North American countries on the 2024 Berggruen Governance Index, scoring highly on democratic accountability. It’s ranked as one of only 25 “full democracies” by the Economist Intelligence Unit. But, despite ranking 9th globally in GDP per capita, Australia ranks only 99th worldwide in the Economic Complexity Index (ECI). “Although Australia is blessed with bountiful natural resources, its political economy is also constrained by this very endowment,” said the Australia BGI Report. “Its reliance on extractive industries has reduced the incentive to diversify and weakened other parts of the economy.” Iron ore, coal, petroleum, gold, and other minerals comprise the five largest products sold abroad, accounting for more than half of all exports. Instead of moving away from this reliance, “Australia has in many ways doubled down,” said the report. Australia is the world’s largest coal exporter and accounts for more than half of the world’s lithium, with most of it going to China for battery manufacturing. Therein lies another issue. While Australia is increasingly economically dependent on China, it has also long relied on the U.S. security guarantee. In the context of a growing U.S.-China rivalry, this puts Australia in a precarious position, said the report, being “economically tethered to one superpower, while militarily aligned with another.” To move past these problems, Australia will have to “leverage its impressive state capacity and strong educational system to develop a more advanced services sector and more complex manufacturing,” said the Australia BGI Report. The next government will need to focus on the “domestic essentials of growth” such as housing market reforms, as well as building economic complexity, to ensure internal and external stability, the report’s researchers conclude. Only with a more complex economy “can Australia ensure future growth and reduce vulnerability to foreign powers like China and the U.S.” ———————————————- This text and the accompanying material (photos and graphics) are an offer from the Democracy News Alliance, a close co-operation between Agence France-Presse (AFP, France), Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata (ANSA, Italy), The Canadian Press (CP, Canada), Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa, Germany) and PA Media (PA, UK).

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 April 2025 – In an atmosphere charged anticipation and entrepreneurial urgency, GE Jun, Chairman and CEO of TOJOY Smart Enterprise Services, delivered a landmark speech at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Center as a guide to reshape the trajectory of China’s private sector. Over 2,000 business leaders, policymakers, and industry experts gathered to hear GE Jun’s Grain Rain 2025 address—a speech considered by attendees as “a wake-up call” and “a compass for business growth in turbulent times.” Breaking the Walls: GE Jun Calls for Enterprises to find new roads In a bold and candid tone, GE Jun didn’t mince words: “Many traditional enterprises are being phased out, not from failure, but from working harder and getting less.” He described a vicious cycle plaguing businesses across China—a trap of internal competition and shrinking returns. Drawing on his frontline insights from Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, China and dialogues with global economists, GE Jun unveiled a five-point survival playbook for private enterprises: A Message of Belief in a Time of Uncertainty The theme, “With Belief, The Road Opens Up,” wasn’t just poetic—it was a call to action. In a time when headlines echo uncertainty and downturn, GE Jun offered what few dare to speak of: hope rooted in strategy. “Belief is not blind optimism,” he said, “It’s seeing the light in the distance and walking toward it when others are frozen in fear.” From Silicon Valley to Sichuan: Global Wisdom Meets Chinese Urgency With executive stints at Intel, Apple, and Nvidia, GE Jun brings an uncommon global lens to Chinese entrepreneurship. Since joining TOJOY as CEO in 2019, his mission has been clear: build bridges between China’s business circles and the world stage. Today, with over 56 million private enterprises driving China’s economy, the stakes have never been higher. “Instead of working harder,” he said, “we need smarter directions, global visions, and shared platforms.” Grain Rain Speech: More Than a Stage, It’s a Movement Now in its second year, the Grain Rain Speech has evolved into an intellectual IP and action platform for China’s business elite. Last year’s theme, “Leap Ahead Again,” sparked debates on intergenerational business succession. This year, GE Jun shifted the focus to the importance of transformation within China’s business sector. Entrepreneurs from across the nation flooded the event with questions, ideas, and commitments to change. One CEO from Jiangsu summed it up: “It’s no longer about where to cut costs. It’s about who dares to grow again.” GE Jun concluded with a powerful vision: “Let the Grain Rain Speech stand as the bridge—where China’s private sector steps confidently onto the world stage. Not just to survive, but to co-create the next era of global enterprise.” Editor’s Note: Why It Matters This isn’t just another CEO keynote. It’s a mirror held up to China’s economic reality—and a map for how to escape the fog. As China’s private sector gears up for a new cycle of transformation, the Grain Rain Speech might just become its rallying cry.
