1. National control of credit to ensure it’s adequacy to maintain and increase employment.
2. National control of interest rates, in order to keep to a minimum the monetary and capital costs on production and Industry.
3. National direction of investment with the objective of assisting in the promotion of a balanced economic development.

A. Credit for the nation.
B. Rates of interest.
C. Direction of general investment.
D. Currency relations with external markets.
The Labor Party points to these planks of its platform and insists that the Commonwealth Bank must have its original charter restored.
The policy of the government must be given effect and the people’s authority established in respect to an indispensable national service.
If the Government of the Commonwealth deliberately excluded itself from all participation in making or changing of monetary policy it cannot govern except in a secondary degree.”
Foreign debt started in 1983 when the Australian dollar was floated and financial deregulation took place.
