Accelerated depreciation helps companies bring forward capital-intensive investments by reducing payback time. It's not a hand out. Companies still have to pay the tax, but they simply get to defer it.

In my view, helping to feed a hungry world is Australia's greatest responsibility and opportunity in the 21st century.

The Second Green Revolution, as the world's population grows to over 9 billion by 2050, is the new revolution we have to have to lift food production by another 75 percent.

My company in the U.S., Pratt Industries U.S.A., has grown from scratch to become a billion-dollar business based on recycling, as well as the largest Australian-owned employer of U.S. citizens.

I believe we have the potential to quadruple Australia's food exports to Asia.

We can bring together rich natural resources, innovative research and development, smart investors, and risk-taking farming and manufacturing entrepreneurs.

Private is our DNA, in my DNA. It enables us to make decisions for the long term.

I like to do things that you need to chip away at.

I'm proud we have built a billion-dollar business from scratch here in the US. It has been done very much in a slow, building way. It wasn't an instant type of thing. America is a huge market where persistence is very important, and I am a builder by nature.

My vision for Visy Tumut is not only to keep our position as an example of world's sustainable manufacturing, but to build on it.
