Presidents Message

 By now you should be aware of the campaign that has been
launched by the Chamber movement in the lead up to the election in September.
Remember, this is YOUR opportunity to have YOUR concerns raised and promoted through the Chamber movement.

Some of the issues that have already been mentioned are; workplace reforms; rights for individual contractors; individual agreements; reduction or removal of penalty rates; tax & financial reforms; reform tax system to support business growth; reduce income tax; quarterly company tax collection; govt backed lending to SME’s; reduce cost of doing business; reduce Govt size and spending; reduction of cost to administer paid parental leave; and the list goes on.

The purpose of the campaign is to give business owners and employees, an avenue to tell their personal stories, in short video messages, about life in their business world. The more stories we get, the more will be able to be heard by those that make the decisions.

Small business employs 7 million Australians, which is around 60% of the Australian workforce. We should be the ones that policy makers stand up for and take notice. We should be the ones that are heard, as we, as I have often said, “are the engine room of our economy”.

I am sure you can think of a range of issues that you would like addressed.  You can raise them through Gosford Chamber or you can learn more by signing up directly at www.toobigtoignore.org.au
