CEOs such as Coca Amatil CEO Alison Watkins say big business needs to do a better job of explaining its contribution to the economy to the general public. Origin Energy CEO Frank Calabria contends that the average Australian has tuned out to both government and big business, while departing Commonwealth Bank CEO Ian Narev says it is important that big business is willing to acknowledge its mistakes. APA Group CEO Michael Cormack says the federal government should stop using big business as a scapegoat for its own mistakes.
