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 possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
