The Australian Financial Review’s 2023 Power List has been revealed… And for the second year in a row, PM Anthony Albanese has been named Australia’s most powerful person. Meanwhile, Albanese’s Trade Minister Don Farrell has come out on top of the most covertly powerful list for the “key role” he’s played in restoring Oz-China relations. On the business side, Commonwealth Bank’s Matt Comyn came out on top, followed by BHP boss Mike Henry and ex-Fortescue Metals CEO Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest. As for which Aussies wielded the most cultural power this year, you don’t need a crystal ball to guess that Sam Kerr clinched the #1 spot… The football legend was followed by Barbie star Margot Robbie, federal Arts Minister Tony Burke, and ‘No’ campaigners on either side of politics, Jacinta Price and Lidia Thorpe.
