Exit, pursued by a murderous suit bag

Never one to rest too long on my posterior, I jet in from Hong Kong to Sydney, and arrive rather the worse for Qantas at the airport. A chirpy customs man asks my occupation. When told "journalist" he asks what I intend to write about in Australia. When I reply "financial markets" he says: "Well that'll be pretty dull for you." This does not bode well.

Straight to lunch with an Australian financier who spends most of the main course proclaiming why Sydney will become Asia’s regional financial centre.
