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:
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
“Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.””
—Ruth Formanek (20th century)
