Kerre Woodham: The Investment Summit is filling me with real hope and optimism

Speaking of the Investment Summit that's been convened by the government – or really the Prime Minister, because this Infrastructure Investment Summit is the PM's baby. What I really love is the positivity around it. It must be killing some media organisations, having to reluctantly spit out some good news. But there's optimism and there's hard bitten trillion-dollar asset fund managers saying yes, this all looks really promising. It's not just hearing about the very real possibility of getting essential works done, but it's the encouraging words from those fund managers with their trillions of dollars worth of assets.

Mike's Minute: The Investment Summit looks like a winner

I suppose technically it is only halfway through, with today still to go, but the Investment Summit looked good to me on day one.

There seems no doubt that a lot of people with a lot of money turned up and some of them spoke of their desire to bid for projects.

The Prime Minister, who needs some runs, I think has some and he hasn’t even left for India.
