Australia is a resource-rich nation. We have been good at exploiting our minerals base and agricultural sector for exports.

I love Australia. I love the people there; they are fantastic. The business opportunities are endless.

Producing clean energy from non-recyclable waste is an important part of my future vision for family company Visy Australia.

Agribusiness is still the main sector in exports to the Arab countries, but it is already possible to see that other products, especially manufactured goods, have conquered space in this market. Proof of this is that exports in general have increased a lot, in spite of agribusiness remaining stable.

Food manufacturing is an ideal candidate for targeted accelerated depreciation because the food industry, our biggest industry, creates significant flow-on benefits.

I have a dream that in the not-too-distant future, Visy Tumut will spend around $100 m to expand our clean energy generation here and take in additional waste forest wood to generate clean renewable energy and sell it into the power grid.
