Understanding the New Australian Government: Implications for Business in Asia
Understanding the New Australian Government: Implications for Business in Asia
The Australian Election led to the election of the first Labor government in almost a decade. The policy agenda from the new government includes an emphasis on climate change, women and engagement in the Pacific. What do those priorities mean for business and Australians abroad? How can business look beyond these imperatives to understand the new government's broader policy objectives for business and the implications for the economy?
Join AustCham as we welcome three highly sought-after analysts to discuss:
- the incoming government’s policies for business and international trade
- the reaction from markets and business in Australia
- the opportunities for business in China and Hong Kong and the region
- what the election results mean for the next generation of Australians
- how the Australian electorate and political representation has changed.
Go beyond the headlines and join us for an interactive online event with leading experts in their fields.
