Wolfgang Jacobs is in Epworth Hospital for cancer treatment and while he still feels a strong connection to our club he does not wish to have visitors. He prefers text message communication because It takes too much out of him to respond to direct contact.
Alan Oxley shared with us his experience working to reduce tariffs on international trade. He outlined some of the historical context for Australia’s move towards liberalising our economy, the changes to the GDP mix (from manufacturing into a services economy) and the historical resistance to opening up Australia to competition.
