G20 leaders arrived at Parliament House in Brisbane for an informal retreat on Saturday (November 15) ahead of summit meetings later in the day.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the host of the G20 Leaders Summit, said on Saturday he wanted the retreat of leaders to discuss economic reform but was open to other issues.
