2012 Business Breakfast - Hon Paul Keating

Wesley College is honoured to have former Prime Minister, Hon Paul Keating, as our guest speaker at the 5th Annual Wesley College Foundation Business Breakfast. Mr Keating is one of Australia's great political leaders whose economic reforms transformed the economy and is a highly sought after speaker, both nationally and internationally. This is a rare opportunity to hear him speak in a public forum in Melbourne. Mr Keating will be introduced by Mr Graeme Samuel AO AC (OW1963).

Paul Keating was Australia's Treasurer 1983-91 and Prime Minister 1991-96. He championed a number of seminal changes to our nation, including the reorientation of Australia's strategic and trade relationships with Asia, promoting Australia's shift to a republic and the development of a major legal structure to return lands to Australia's indigenous people. His domestic economic reforms included the dismantling of a centralised wage fixing system in favour of an enterprise bargaining model, floating the Australian dollar, establishing universal superannuation and setting up a competition policy to lower prices, with the aim of lifting disposable incomes. His reforms underpinned twenty years of low inflationary economic growth.
