"On 5 March, CA ANZ CEO Ainslie van Onselen chaired an exclusive online member event with the Australian Federal Treasurer, Hon Josh Frydenberg MP, and New Zealand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Hon Grant Robertson, that was attended by 4000 guests.
"This discussion covered the important issues that will help shape policy on both sides of the Tasman and provided an exciting opportunity for our members to hear directly from key policy makers on the lessons learned from the pandemic and gain insights into future government measures and this year's budgets."
