Description: South Australia is gripped by an energy crisis. Following on from the power crisis in Tasmania when the link to Victoria also went down, how viable is it for neighbouring states to rely on brown coal based electricity in Victoria, particularly if we are intending to reduce our emissions? Are executives being paid too much? Are results driven executives not looking at the bigger picture when making decisions for the financial benefit of their company. What may make money for these businesses may not be so beneficial for the wider community. We all love to be wooed, but when trying to win over business and get ahead in China’s competitive business world, one of the ways some government officials are using to win over the business of potential customers is by taking them to a very luxurious and exclusive high end sea food banquet. However China’s government sees this is potentially corruptive behaviour and is trying to put an end to the high end banquet. Features: - Tony Wood, Energy Program Director and joint author of the report "Keeping the lights on: Lessons from South Australia's power shock". - Natalia Nikolova, Senior Lecturer in Management at University of Technology Sydney - Michael Fabyini from UTS, a recipient of chinese hospitality in the past . Producers: Vincent Su and Tania Katsanis Executive Producer and Presenter: Roderick Chambers
