Australia may have avoided the worst of the financial crisis, but the effects of the economic downturn are still trickling through. Andrew Mackinnon speaks with two individuals from seemingly two different worlds about the Glogabl Financial Crisis.

Surprisingly their worlds aren’t as far apart as you might think.
