The hardest job in politics these days isn’t being the opposition leader or even the prime minister. It’s being the chief executive of the Business Council of Australia, the lobby group for big business chief executives. At the moment, it feels as if big business is only slightly less unpopular with the Australian public than Qantas.
If you’re growing or making something or mining a mineral you probably think differently about the country and its people than if you’re selling professional services.Many big businesses in this country are global businesses and for an increasing number of CEOs, Australia is just one market out of many. Which could explain why over the past few years, big business in Australia has been wrong about so many things so often.
Then there’s the naivety of big business about the Labor Party.
