David Bradbury has more than 20 years' experience in tax and economic policy, the law, government, and executive leadership. After spending the last decade at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, where he was the Deputy Director of the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, David returned to Australia in mid-2024, where he is now a partner at KPMG Australia.
Prior to joining the OECD, David had been a corporate tax lawyer, the Mayor of Penrith in Sydney's west, a Member of the House of Representatives in the Australian Parliament and the Assistant Treasurer in the Australian Government. As a Minister, David had responsibility for overseeing some of Australia's key economic regulators and held portfolios in areas such as taxation policy, competition policy and consumer affairs, foreign investment policy and corporate governance.
During his time at the OECD, David was one of the international tax negotiators that secured the landmark 2021 international tax agreement among more than 145 countries and jurisdictions, which included multilateral agreement on the global minimum tax on large multinational corporations. While the international tax negotiations and subsequent multilateral agreement provide many lessons on how to secure major consensus-based global economic reform, David also witnessed first-hand a number of profound shifts in the geopolitical landscape. The return of President Donald Trump to the White House has raised many questions about the future of multilateralism and the prospects of future global economic cooperation, including in relation to the durability of the international tax reforms. David will share his insights and draw upon some of the lessons from his time at the OECD and reflect upon the future of global economic cooperation in today's rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
