Brian Fallow reports in today's Herald on the Australia-New Zealand Leadership Forum. He suggests that business failed to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the meeting. This really annoys The Hive. Not the article, but what it reports. This is marked contrast to the US and Japan counterparts where business is firmly in the driving seat. It is little wonder that the US and Japanese fora deliver more earth shattering results. Thanks Brian for writing this critique.
Update :we are told that Fallow has been very negative and that business leaders did press for improvement in several areas.
