For a start i think government are going to have to eat an economy sized shit sandwich and relax restrictions on foreign workers to see if they can fire up the economy.

Doesn't that just add to the burden? It's affordable energy we need.The economy is in crisis due to many factors and that problem has to be addressed at some point, sort of like now, fuel prices are only going one way atm. With a supersized nutjob at the helm and a relatively inexperienced treasurer, I don't want to add to the gloom but they need to make a start.
This crisis although very relevant to recent events has also been bubbling away for some time, that successive governments have made deliberate decisions to use ideology over proven economic pathways has left little room to move. The economy was driven down with Austerity and institutions defunded, de-staffed and a there is a large cohort of working poor. Brexit probably has been the tipping point where the economy has proven to be totally unprepared for the Ukraine shock and a government awol. The economic rebuild has to start, the govt has all the information and treasury to advise them they need to get on with it.
