Ray White’s Jamie Gossage, David Thorpe and Shane Hilaire recently attended a business dinner, where Australia’s economic future was the prominent topic.
Former Reserve Bank of Australia Governor, Bernie Fraser, was the guest speaker at the Shoalhaven Business Chamber Dinner, and shared some remarkable insights including:

Mr Fraser also predicted that America and Europe are fading as super powers, and the emerging (or developing) countries, such as China and India will overtake them in coming years.
