Rupert Murdoch, Jacques Nasser, Leigh Clifford - these are men who have risen to the top in international business. When you want an opinion on the effect of the global economy on Australia who better to ask? No one understands the impact of globalisation and technology on Australia more than those who run global companies do.
Six leading Australian businessmen, working in the international arena, discuss the key issues affecting Australia such as: immigration and social harmony; science and technology; education and trends toward globalisation. They also discuss Australia's investment competitiveness and cover areas like government administration, taxation policy, social institutions and social attitudes, the Australian work ethic and workplace relations.
