Clinton Maynard

Michael is joined by John Blackburn AO, Air Vice-Marshal (Ret’d) / Chairman of the Institute for Integrated Economic Research – Australia, who has co-authored a report that criticises Australia’s lack of leadership with Federal politics being too short-sighted and shallow to deal with 21st-century challenges.
