Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.
Bob Hawke (PM 1983-1991) and Paul Keating (Treasurer then PM 1991-1996) under Labor government. Structural-reform sequence: float of AUD (Dec 1983), tariff reductions (from peak 25% to ~5% by 1996), financial-sector deregulation with foreign-bank entry (1985), corporate + personal tax reform with dividend imputation (1986-87), Prices and Incomes Accord between ALP and ACTU (wage moderation paired with social-wage expansion), independent Reserve Bank target (implicit from 1993, formal 1996 agreement), superannuation guarantee (1992, covered separately), national competition policy with Hilmer reforms. Produced post-1992 sustained growth expansion (>28 years of unbroken quarterly GDP growth, 1992-2020). Canonical labor-government implementing market-oriented reform.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
