He has worked closely with governments, banks, corporates and leading professional services firms at the highest level. As a member of the celebrated Wallis Inquiry, he was at the forefront of financial market reform in Australia. After a 25-year academic career, which included 16 years in various roles at Melbourne Business School, he was elected Emeritus Professor in recognition of his service to the University of Melbourne. From December 2005 to July 2009, Ian served as Chairman of the Australian Fair Pay Commission, an independent statutory body whose role was to set and adjust minimum wages in Australia. In 2000 he was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia and more recently to a Fellowship of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and the ANU Faculty of Economics and Commerce Alumni Hall of Fame. Ian is an active member of his local Anglican church in suburban Melbourne and a sought after commentator and public speaker on economic and financial issues. He has been described as “one of those relatively rare academics who can communicate extremely well with both the business and the academic community.”

About the Tasmanian Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast

Strings on Fire Strings on Fire is Tasmania’s busiest String Quartet and will be with us again at this year’s breakfast. They are in demand at events both within and outside the State playing original modern arrangements of jazz and contemporary music such as Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Norah Jones, Sting, Van Morrison and Crowded House plus all classical favourites. Strings on Fire have played for the Australian of the Year Awards, ‘Sunday Live’ concert and broadcasts, ABC Classic FM, 4 Hats Dinner, Hobart Town Hall, the Bradman Oration Dinner, Government House and numerous other events.

St Mary’s College Choir Founded in 1868, St Mary’s College is located in Hobart and caters for girls from K to 12 and boys from K to 2. Its vision is to offer a dynamic environment where young people are able to fulfil their spiritual, academic and personal potential.

The breakfast began in 2006 and was initially held in the Parliamentary Dining Room at Parliament House with around 75 in attendance. In 2008 it moved to the Hotel Grand Chancellor with 220 people in attendance.
