Australia This Week is a television business news program aired on Fridays and across the weekend on CNBC Asia. When daylight saving time is in effect in Australia, the program is first shown live across the network's pan-Asian feed at 5pm Sydney time (2pm Singapore/Hong Kong/Taiwan time). At other times, the program is relayed live in Australia only, and rebroadcast 30 minutes later (3:30pm in the UTC+8 time zone) on the channel's pan-Asian feed. It is produced from CNBC Asia's Australia studio in Sydney, and anchored by Oriel Morrison.
The program serves as a review of the week's trading in Australia, featuring analysis from money managers and investors and excerpts from the major interviews from the week's editions of Squawk Australia and Trading Matters. Australia This Week premiered on CNBC Asia on 6 October 2007 as part of a major push into the Australian market by the network.
Australia This Week is also part of the weekend programming line-ups of CNBC Europe and CNBC World.
Famous quotes containing the words australia and/or week:
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves. I had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side; and though it is five or six years since I trod it, it is still quite distinct. It is true, I fear, that others may have fallen into it, and so helped to keep it open.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
