Just days before a national election is expected to be called, Australia’s opposition Labor Party (ALP) is being criticized for its lack of formal policy on the crypto industry. Crypto venture capitalist Mark Carnegie said the ALP’s silence on the topic showed “the failure of leadership”. However, Shadow Minister for Financial Services Stephen Jones rebutted this assertion, saying that if the ALP won, it would consider the “broad principles” of “safety and transparency”, which would “inevitably lead to greater regulation of exchanges”. In response, senator Andrew Bragg tweeted: “7 words is not a crypto policy.” He later said the ALP had “no serious agenda for digital assets other than a few throwaway lines”, which was “consistent with their economic plan — which is no plan”.
