DBrief Podcast by Ai Group
DBrief, the new monthly business podcast from Australian Industry Group is for business people with a keen interest in understanding the connection between their individual business operation and the broader issues of Industry Development, Industry Policy and new government regulations.
Via an engaging and informal interview format, DBrief will investigate:
- What is happening in Industry Policy, and what does it mean?
- Where are these issues going, and what do I need to know?
- What do I need to think about and learn, in order to stay abreast of- or even ahead of- the emerging issues and developments?
By understanding the answers to these questions, business operators can stay ahead of changes and market movements, and be better prepared for Digitalisation, Decarbonisation and Diversification in their business and their market sector.
The podcast is designed to provide Ai Group members and other business owners with a useful and timely insight into the changes in policy and regulations, and what is means for business.

The deep thinking required to influence
The podcast provides businesspeople and policy junkies with timely and usable information with a business and industry view of the latest developments in Industry Policy in Australia. It looks at what’s happening in the wider macro economy, and the likely impact on your business and industry.
One purpose of the podcast is to look at the news and government announcements , and to learn how Ai Group is assessing and responding to the , but someone has to go deeper into what the announcements are and try and figure out what it means for Australian business. And, you know, love talking to you each month to get an idea that there's actually a team of people that are trying to figure out what it means for industry and for business and how to make it work.
In this epidose, James and Louise discuss the complexity of policy and the need for deep analysis and clear thinking. Louise explains how to create a response for requests for comment by government and others…
Issues covered this month include:
- Future Made in Australia (FMIA) and the challenge for Australian business (tip- it’s not a variation of Made in Australia).
- What is meant by ‘small yard, high fences’.
- What are Green Metals and what does it mean for Australian industry.
- And what about green hydrogen?
- What recommendations have Ai Group made to improve Future Made in Australia?
- Ai Group’s thoughts on the ACCC’s discussion paper on Sustainability in Industry- how to encourage businesses to work together, legally.
- More thoughts on Cyber Security.
- The challenges and issues with Australia ports and current performance
- And much more.
Another fascinating conversation full of insights and thought-provoking opinions and observations. Well worth a listen.
