While the terms of trade fell back in the following year, they did not fully retrace their rise for a number of years. Around this time, Australia entered a long period of sustained economic growth, with the unemployment rate rarely rising above 3 per cent. Today the Australian economy is growing strongly, supported by the highest terms of trade since Sir Roland was Treasury Secretary, and the unemployment rate is at a level many thought could not be achieved unless accompanied by rampant growth in wages and prices. In the 2007 Sir Roland Wilson Foundation Lecture, Ken Henry compares the structure of the Australian economy in the 1950s and 1960s with that of today, and discusses the reasons for the changing focus of economic policy.

He was also a proud and active Chairman of Qantas from 1966–1973, during a time of extreme turbulence for the company. In Sir Roland's address on the airline’s fiftieth anniversary, he declared that it was a near miracle that the company had lasted so long, and done so well. In this lecture, Qantas Chairman Margaret Jackson considers the modern challenges faced by Qantas and describes how the company is drawing on its tradition of being bold, brave and innovative to survive and succeed in the 21st century.
