Could you pull off sneakers and a suit?
The latest trend from the runway takes casual Friday to a whole new level.
Ross Gittins 12:15 AM Much talked-up pledge to generate 'jobs and growth' was a scheme to cut company tax plus a lot of fancy packaging.
Elizabeth Knight 12:15 AM Increasing health consciousness is driving decisions about what we drink and the profit to be made from it.
Michael Pascoe 9:41 AM The election result isn't the equivalent of an Antipodean Brexit or a Trump. Heck, we haven't even changed our PM for 10 months. Well, not yet anyway.
Elizabeth Knight In a business where margins remain wafer thin, there is no room for mishap or bad luck.
Peter Martin There's no evidence that South Australia or any other state will "benefit enormously from the free trade agreements the Coalition has signed", in large part because the Coalition has ensured there isn't.
Elizabeth Knight It looks like Malcolm Turnbull is about to celebrate the ultimate Clayton's political victory. He gets the title but Bill Shorten gets de facto control.
Adele Ferguson As Labor, the Greens and even One Nation back a royal commission into the banking system, Malcolm Turnbull would do well to take a stand.
Tracey McNaughton Chill winds are blowing, and not just down Pitt Street and Collins Street.
Michael Pascoe It is sad that we've deteriorated to Kardashian politics, but the reality is a minority government won't make much difference.
Michael Pascoe Why exactly are we self-flagellating over a close election?
Clancy Yeates Even if banks avoid a royal commission, political pressure is unlikely to let up.
Ross Gittins Assuming the government scrapes back in, this surprisingly poor election result for the Coalition carries hard lessons for politicians and those who seek to influence the policies they pursue: business people, economists and econocrats.
Ross Gittins There's a great weakness in the (otherwise sound) argument that borrowing for infrastructure is a good thing.
Adele Ferguson There is a dark side to the labour market in Australia and it is undermining the economic fabric and giving this country a bad name globally.
Elizabeth Knight Telstra's network outages are no longer just a problem for customers, they've become a real problem for the company.
Michael Pascoe Malcolm Turnbull must wonder about what might have been and regret the missed opportunity to call a snap election when he knifed Tony Abbott.
Michael Pascoe Australians are paying billions to the big four banks because we are too lazy to shop around.
Harold Mitchell With one day to go the media is at fever pitch speculating about the election.
Adele Ferguson Murray Goulburn's decision to open 2017 farmgate prices below market expectations will put farmers in the gun and banks on high alert.
Neil Irwin What makes Brexit so concerning is that it accentuates and deepens six global forces that have been building for years.
Tristram Sainsbury Most Australians would probably class our relationship status with China as 'it's complicated'.
Britain's vote to leave the European Union points to deep economic and political problems.
Andrew Ross Sorkin There's no need to panic yet. Of far greater concern will be if other EU countries attempt their own exits.
Clancy Yeates Everyone from banks to fast-food chains claims to be ''disruptive''. How much of this is hot air?
Michael Pascoe From an economic point of view, it's worth keeping some perspective about what the Liberals and Labor are carrying on about.
Michael Pascoe It's one thing for the UK to seek a diminished role, it would be another altogether for the world's greatest power to elect a sectarian bully.
Ross Gittins One thing we've learnt from this election campaign: whoever's interests our business lobby groups represent, it's not Australian shareholders.
Caitlin Fitzsimmons Don't rush out and sell stocks or buy gold on the back of the Brexit vote. You might even want to do the opposite.
Ross Gittins A more adult election campaign, not one ruled by scare campaigns, would deliver a better outcome for us all.
Michael Pascoe If the Poms want to shoot themselves in their economic foot, I don't care. But I do care about the isolationist small-mindedness that seems to have driven the Brexit vote.
