On the show this week: The nine biggest pharmaceutical companies made $8.3 billion in total revenue in Australia, yet only paid $85 million in tax – that’s a tax rate of about one percent. They faced a Senate Inquiry this week to ‘please explain’. Also will the Chine Free Trade Agreement be as good for Australia as it is for China? Plus two programs for business and communities which make their everyday operations more efficient – saving them money, and saving on those troublesome carbon emissions.
