KIM Beazley is preparing to go back to the future, fashioning an economic framework that will borrow from Knowledge Nation without the gimmickry or the much-maligned diagram.
Beazley is well aware of this but is equally determined to take the running on an issue (foreign debt) that he believes will severely test the economy's resilience in coming years.
Beazley argues the foreign debt issue comes into play because of the slowing economy, that it was less an issue when annual growth was 4 per cent.
