Money & Power: How much is too much in corporate Australia?
Friday 6th August 2010
WatersEdge Conference Centre
11 Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay, Sydney

More than a year on from the global financial crisis, the corporate sector still exerts tremendous influence over social and political life. Bank profits and fees continue on their upward trend, increases in executive salaries still outstrip those of average workers, and political and planning systems can be compromised by corporate cash.

This conference looks at the impact of corporate power across the spectrum of our financial and political institutions, on our environment and in workplaces.
