Who is David Gonski?

David Michael Gonski AC is an Australian public figure and businessman. He is a leading philanthropist and Patron of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation.

In 2008, The Sydney Morning Herald described him as "one of the country's best-connected businessmen" and dubbed him "Mr Networks" for being "arguably Sydney's most networked man." A profile in 2010 by Australian author and Herald columnist, Malcolm Knox said that Gonski is "a quiet man, in some ways invisible, and cleaves to the shadows. If he were to draw a self-portrait, Gonski would get more use out of an eraser than a pencil."
