Money & Power: How much is too much in corporate Australia?

Event date: 06 August 2010
Type: Conference
Location: Waters Edge Conference Centre, 11 Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay, Sydney
Cost: Regular $150, Concession (F/T Student, Senior) $95

With the federal election campaign in full swing, this conference will give you some space to think about what sort of reforms will create a fairer and more equal Australia. Focusing on the sacred cow of public policy - the influence of our corporate sector - the Money and Power conference will be held on Friday 6th August at the WatersEdge Conference Centre in Sydney.

Leading academics and practitioners will outline some ideas for reform such as: improving corporate and global financial regulation, extending the mining profits tax to other profitable sectors, restoring the place of decent work and secure jobs in our labour market, and reforming the system of political donations.

Speakers include:

Bernie Fraser - Chair Members Equity Bank, former Reserve Bank Governor

Maree O'Halloran - Director Welfare Rights Centre

Jack Gray - Woolley Centre for Capital Market Dysfunctionality, UTS

Ross Buckley - Professor of Law, UNSW

Tony Maher - President, CFMEU Mining

Joan Staples - Visiting Fellow, Faculty of Law, UNSW

Andrew McIntosh - Assoc Director, ANU Centre for Climate Law and Policy
