The Australian Financial Review surveys the country's top business leaders each year, asking for their views on the economy, politics, and industry.

APA Group CEO Adam Watson participated in this year's poll to share his perspective on the opportunities facing Australia in 2026.

He highlighted that Australia is well-placed to lead in the energy transition, provided we get the policy settings right. His responses outline why domestic gas is essential to firming renewables, powering local manufacturing, and enabling the AI boom. He also discussed the need for bold investment to keep energy reliable and affordable.
