- What are the implications of our aging population for retirement villages, rest homes, optometrists, dentists and providers of other medical services?
- Will tourists suddenly stop coming to Australia and NZ in ever increasing numbers?
- Does our banking industry have a good track record? (Hint: think APRA and the 4 pillars policy)
