	Business Ethics - Articles - Don Argus' Address to ERBEI Forum, 19 March 2002
		Well, first of all, it would be inappropriate for me not to stand here and apologise for being late to attend this forum but when the plane sits on the tarmac for an hour, then I ‘m afraid I can’t do much about it.
		I don’t think anyone here will argue that the opening up of the world markets has led to unprecedented economic growth but of course that growth isn’t shared equally across the globe and so the benefits of free and open markets are being questioned by some.
		However, I would put a slightly different spin on this and argue that enlightened self-interest is something business should be unashamedly pursuing, so all sectors of our society can prosper and grow.

	Transcript - Mr Don Argus - July 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		I argue that to develop an appropriate Asian policy, Australia must first revisit the fundamental issues of its own identity and its own national priorities.
		It could be argued that the past tendency of Australian governments and companies is to view Asia as largely undifferentiated and an undifferentiated mass in terms of political, economic and social development has had a negative impact on some of the relationships that we see today.
		The fact is that Australia is located in a region that is commonly viewed as culturally and temperamentally similar, yet it is actually highly diverse in political, social and economic trends.
