“Australia’s future prosperity and security depends on Australian entrepreneurship and innovation. Not only does entrepreneurship offer an exciting and interesting prospect for both study and business life, it provides a set of skills and attitudes enabling you to navigate a very volatile world and make volatility your friend, not your foe”, says former Australian Prime Minister, The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull AC.
