Small Business

As part of that, I also value small business. It is a critical part of the economic and social fabric of so many regional centres and towns right across Australia, particularly in Forrest. The majority of small businesses are family owned and run. They are a major employer nationally and are the cornerstone of our society. And never forget: small business is a critical player in strengthening competition in the marketplace.

I also engage in trade practices and small business issues. My focus is on implementing and building on practical plans to create regional economic development, employment and social opportunities, making the south-west an even better place to live, to work, to invest, to raise a family, to enjoy recreation and to retire.
