‘A leaked Treasury document has revealed a number of recommended outcomes for the federal government’s yet to be held productivity round table.

The pre-written list, prepared for cabinet and seen by the ABC, shows advice from Treasury to pause changes to the National Construction Code, similar to a proposal by former opposition leader Peter Dutton that was panned by Labor at the federal election.

It also recommends measures to speed up housing approvals, including a national artificial intelligence plan to cut environmental red tape, and reforms to clear a backlog of 30,000 housing approvals currently being assessed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity (EPBC) Act.
