HARDtalk is in Australia for a series of interviews to test the political, cultural and economic climate.

Australia's wealth of natural resources has provided the country with a massive economic boom. Billionaires have been created by the huge demand for the country's plentiful commodities such as iron ore, nickel and coal, most of which ends up in China.

Clive Palmer has become one of Australia's richest men on the back of the mining boom. He speaks of his admiration for the Chinese and the way they do business but Stephen Sackur asks whether the people of Australia might come to regret the rise of this mining magnate.
