Good insolvency rules help viable businesses restructure, and give people a path back after financial distress.
Our government is modernising personal insolvency so renewal comes sooner.

- On ABC Canberra: how our Budget reforms will help 75,000 more first home buyers into the market, cut taxes for all working Australians and back start-ups to grow. andrewleigh.com/transcript_abc… #auspol #ausecon
- New on my Good Life podcast - Martin McKenzie-Murray on Sirens, Service and Survival Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/and… Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/1F4RWwmsw…
- Each year, the ACCC sets product safety priorities to target high-risk unsafe goods and protect Australians. This year’s priorities go to where the risks are: online marketplaces, children’s products, e-bike safety and updating mandatory standards. accc.gov.au/about-us/accc-…
- One Nation talks about battlers, but their policies back billionaires. Labor is focused on raising wages and protecting workers. #auspol
00:00 - Cancelling a subscription should not be an endurance sport. At the National Consumer Congress, I spoke about tackling subscription traps, drip pricing, unsafe online products and fine print that leaves consumers doing too much heavy lifting. andrewleigh.com/speech-from-fi… #auspol
00:00 - One Nation say they like straight talk. So here it is: if you ban journalists, blame migrants and vote against workers, you’re not offering courage. You’re offering chaos. #auspol
00:00 - The strongest communities are built from the ground up. Pleased to join Zhi Soon MP for a charity forum on building more connected communities in southwest Sydney.
- AI agents could help consumers find better deals. Or they could steer people through hidden kickbacks or favoured platforms. Our government is acting to keep AI markets open, and competition working for consumers. Today’s speech: ministers.treasury.gov.au/ministers/andr… #auspol #ausecon
- Pauline Hanson is long on grievance and short on answers. Labor is tackling housing, wages and cost of living. One Nation keeps choosing billionaires over battlers. andrewleigh.com/transcript_abc… #auspol
00:00 - Competition is how today’s startup becomes tomorrow’s success story. On 2CC this morning, I discussed the Albanese Government’s competition reforms and why open markets help new ideas take root. andrewleigh.com/transcript_2cc… #ausecon #auspol
- Corporate strategy often asks: how can a firm face fewer rivals? Competition policy asks: how can customers, workers and start-ups get a fairer go? That’s the difference between markets that reward value and markets that reward lock-in. New speech: andrewleigh.com/speech_keeping…
- Talk about misleading. They call themselves “One Nation”, but they’re all about dividing people. #auspol
