Barrister Geoffrey Robertson AO QC facilitates the first Hypothetical in this excerpt from the Sunday program broadcast on 11 March 1984.
Entitled 'Corporate Country: Pinstripes Power and Politics', this scenario is based on two fictitious companies both preparing to launch silent helicopters onto the Australian market.
Each panellist plays a role assigned to them but they are all obviously drawing on their skill sets and experience to manage the challenging and ever-evolving scenario, with Geoffrey Robertson playing puppetmaster. This particular exchange features business executives Jeremy Wright and Jacqueline Huie.
It is interesting to note that Huie (one of only 2 women on the panel of 15 leaders) is smoking here, which was unusual to see on television in the mid-1980s and unthinkable today.
