Abstract: Abstract Today, Australia is heavily engaged in the global economy. High levels of international trade, migration and investment connect Australia directly to many nations and are major contributors to national development through production specialisation and the transfer of knowledge, skills and funds. An important manifestation of internationalisation is the presence of numerous foreign multinationals on our shores. Arriving from at least 70 nations across the globe, they account for more than a third of our top 2000 firms and own over A$1 trillion of assets in Australia (Commercial Intelligence Service 2010; DFAT 2016).
