What it's about and who we want to impress in Brisbane Abbott wants less jargon and a three-page statement to come out of this G20. THE countdown is on. Next week, Brisbane will play host to the largest group of world leaders Australia has ever seen when the G20 gets underway. But far from the usual drawn-out affairs with much discussion and very little action, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has a radical plan to make this G20 meeting one that counts by cutting the jargon and focusing on two key issues; boosting jobs and economic growth. While it won't be everyone's cup of tea, Abbott hopes by narrowing the field in terms of issues, the group will be able to make more of an impact in certain areas.

The gathering will be the most significant political meeting Australia has ever held with leaders from the world's most powerful nations all in Brisbane at once. Those include leaders from Argentina, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper and China's Xi Jinping. France's Francois Hollande will be there along with Germany's Angela Merkel, India's Narendra Modi and Indonesia's Joko Widodo. Also Japan's Shinzo Abe, Mexico's Enrique Pena Nieto, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the UK's David Cameron and United States" Barack Obama, along with Herman van Rompuy and Jean-Claude Junker from the European Union. Still to confirm are Russian President Vladimir Putin, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, Itay's Matteo Renzi, Korea's Park Geun-hye, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah and Jacob Zuma of South Africa.

The G20 was born out of the Asian financial crisis as a way of helping those with mutual interests work together. They always tackle big issues like financial regulation, development goals, trade barriers, global tax and climate change, but have a tendency to overstuff the agenda meaning lots of talk and little action. This time, Abbott wants to narrow it right down. While the usual things will be discussed, the main theme is boosting jobs and driving global growth so the economy can deal with shocks. Here's a quick snapshot of what will be on the table: Global growth - Australia wants countries to target 2 per cent annual growth for the next four years - somewhat optimistically for those suffering from recession. Russia - With Australia, the US, Japan, EU and Canada all having sanctions against Russia at the moment, the handling of MH17 will be in the spotlight. Trade - India has vetoed a new multilateral deal while Australia has signed bilateral deals with Japan and South Korea and has a free-trade agreement pending with China. It's not known how much progress has been made but we could see it announced. Peter Howard (better known as Peter Hore), has received a letter from the Queensland Commissioner of Police warning him away from the G20 Summit.

IMF/ World Bank reform - This is a tricky issue as US Congress blocks reforms that give more power to developing countries. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are forming their own development bank. Tax - The issue of how to stop global businesses evading taxes will be on the agenda as will bank secrecy and common reporting standards. But with massive questions around how any changes would be implemented, it's a tough issue to address. Climate - Don't expect much on this one. The government has shut down any meaningful talks on it, despite some leaders wanting to discuss it. Infrastructure - Australia wants private investment in roads, rail and other capital works to drive growth and will be looking for ways to do this while cutting red tape. Ebola - The US and UK want more countries to help the deadly outbreak in West Africa. A global response to the deadly Ebola outbreak will be on the table in Brisbane.

This includes Chinese President Xi Jinping, who as leader of Australia's largest trading partner with $150 billion at stake, will have the red carpet rolled out for his first visit since 2012. Xi will also be given an official welcome in Canberra and visit Tasmania to explore trade and tourism opportunities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also get first-class treatment as the first Indian leader to visit in 28 years. His visit will include a trip to Canberra for talks to deepen our trading relationship. Nice digs: The Presidential suite where Obama will stay. Yup. Picture: Yuri Gripas. Freshly inaugurated Indonesian President Joko Widodo will also be given a warm welcome in his first visit to Australia, as will US President Barack Obama who is expected to give a speech somewhere as yet undisclosed after the summit. Likely to be unimpressed by the visit, if he comes at all, will be Russian President Vladimir Putin who will no doubt face a huge backlash over his handling of MH17. Also European Union leaders hoping to discuss climate change will find themselves disappointed as the government has squashed it from the agenda. After the last sausage roll has been eaten, a few leaders will hang around. German Chancellor Angela Merkel will give a keynote speech at the Lowy Institute and have a bilateral meeting with Tony Abbott. Francois Hollande will also become the first French head of state to visit Australia with a business delegation to hold talks. David Cameron will address parliament befor ethe summit and visit the Australian War Memorial. What do you hope to see at the G20 or want to know more about?
