Effective support for Victoria and Australia's economy requires substantial reforms in the freight logistics and supply chain sector. These reforms should evaluate the development, implementation, and assessment of policies, using a systems thinking approach to manage complexities and interdependencies. Policies must avoid siloed approaches and conflicting regulations across different government levels and jurisdictions. They should be designed with a comprehensive understanding of the entire supply chain to meet the needs of all stakeholders, including producers, manufacturers, end users, communities, consumers, and businesses.
