In 2019 Business News launched a new event series - Politics & Business - designed to provide a platform for government to address and inform business leaders and the broader business community on policies and key issues that affect our state.
The events are usually held as a breakfast and as a 15 minute keynote address followed by a 30 minute moderated in-conversation, including attendee questions using an audience interactive platform.
Politics & Business breakfast with Hon. Colin Barnett AC
Former Premier of Western Australia
Western Ambition
Colin Barnett’s political career spans decades, making him one of Western Australia’s longest-serving parliamentarians and a two-term Premier.
As a former leader of the state, Mr Barnett offers a unique perspective on the complexities of governance and the challenges facing his party, the Liberals, as they seek to regain power. With a background in economics, he brings valuable insight into the intersection of policy and the realities of Western Australia’s economic cycles.
Having forged strong relationships with Asian leaders during his time as WA's leading cabinet minister, Mr Barnett also provides a rare understanding of regional dynamics and their impact on the state.
