Testimonials

I'm a property marketing consultant and attended the UDIA lunch today. I have recently returned home to Adelaide after working in Melbourne for the last 15 years. I have heard so many speakers over the years and you were by far the most knowledgeable, interesting and honest. You have certainly inspired me - so thank you!

Attendee, UDIA Conference

Why can’t all economists be as interesting and easy to listen to? ... Excellent presentation - best I ever heard ... Probably the most entertaining and professional presentation since I have been in TEC.
