Testimonials for John Kehoe

Hi John. Just wanted to let you know I’ve had great feedback regarding your presentation yesterday – you were the talk of the town at dinner last night. Thanks again John.
Corporate Tax Association

John - I just wanted to say thanks again for coming to chat to us. The team are still speaking about how good it was!
Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet

Thank you again so much for your time and effort to join us, especially given it was Budget week and no doubt one of your busiest weeks of the year! You spoke so well and we thoroughly enjoyed your keynote. A very timely topic, and to think you were speaking to an audience that included Peter Costello, when many years ago you were a young cadet quoting him.
