The Economic Society of Australia invites you to a lunchtime event featuring Michael Knox. Last year the Federal Government promised to return the budget to surplus while ensuring families and small businesses shared in the benefits of the resources boom. Despite a belligerent pursuit, the government’s intentions could not be realized. Come hear Michael Knox relay his insights.  This address will be limited to 15 people.  Contact our Secretariat to secure your spot. Michael Knox is Chief Economist and Director of Strategy at RBS Morgans. Before becoming an economist he worked in the Foreign Service. He regularly appears in the media and his newsletters are read widely. He is a former President of the Economic Society of Australia (QLD) and current President of the Economic Research Association.
