Prime Minister Julia Gillard has again stressed that the rest of the world is depending on European leaders to produce a convincing plan to tackle the continent's debt crisis.

As Sacha Payne reports, she was speaking at the opening the Commonwealth Business Forum in Perth, being held ahead of the Commonwealth leaders' meeting at the end of the week.
