John Strano describes Motorola investment into Queensland in the early 1990s. He notes the incapacity of Queensland government to encourage many projects like this one. He notes how the situation changed when investment and development became part of Premier's Department and the director general had the power to make case-by-case decisions.
Peter Beattie discusses the work his government did to establish Queensland as a base for major companies like Virgin, and the impact that increased airline competition had on travel and the Queensland economy.
