The major problem for Australia's immediate and longer term economic welfare is a large and rapidly increasing foreign debt. Rather than continued reliance on commodity prices for some agricultural and mining products, Australia must also increase its performance in manufacturing and service industries to expand exports and replace imports. Transport can contribute, through productivity improvements, to improving the competitive position of our products and also, more generally, by appropriately minimising the transport component of all production and community costs. Such productivity improvements are being sought through government policy and regulation, and the provision and management of infrastructure and transport services.
