16 Industry share of state production When comparing conditions across states, important to review the contribution of industry sectors to each economy. The most notable disparity is the mining sector. 16

Roy Amara, American futurologist.

22 Where to from here for retail? The future of retail is multi-channel, building brands & multiple touch-points. Stores have to become FUN to visit. Every morning, at opening time, the crew picks one child to unlock imagination with an over-sized key to open the store for the day! 22

23 Manufacturing Australian manufacturing has shifted up the global cost curve (esp. against other advanced economies). The future? Leverage our digitally-driven infrastructure, customisation and focus on sustainability. Australia United States 23

24 Chinese firms also moving up the cost curve Shifting demographics & higher cost structure has seen China lose some allure as base for multinationals. 24

25 ''It is one thing to sell a homogenous minerals commodity to a minerals-hungry industrialist in China, and another thing entirely to design and market a sophisticated personal service to someone living in that culture.'' Former Treasury secretary & lead author of the White Paper on Australia in the Asian Century, Dr Ken Henry.

26 Health in Focus

27 Government finances & health expenditure The problem for Government is on the spending side. And against the backdrop of demographic forces & ongoing global economic uncertainty, the cost of healthcare continues to rise.
