Trust Exercise

Katharine Kemp speaks with Rod Sims (47 mins)

Rod Sims is the Chair of the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission. In this wide-ranging episode, we talk about why the Commission started working 16-hour days to allow rivals to cooperate; whether the ACCC’s role could be too broad; how consumers misunderstand what happens to their data; the crisis in journalism; what Bob Hawke’s cabinet did right; Rod’s views on privatisation; and how inequality affects trust.
