Great insights from Chief Economist ⁦@AaronMorey at @CCI_WA’s post-Budget sundowner with members and stakeholders. Unpacking the Budget just hours after it was handed down!

State budget next week. Two hours after its release I'll deliver a live summary with a bucketload of charts and zero economic jargon. Get down to the CCIWA Member’s Lounge, grab a drink and something to eat, and live the dream. Limited tickets left. embed.ticketbooth.com.au/event/state-bu…

The optimism of regional businesses has dampened, with a 26% drop in short-term confidence. @CCI_WA's 1st Regional Pulse for 2022 shows businesses went from 'upbeat' to 'neutral,' amid higher costs, worker shortages and supply chain issues. cciwa.com/media-statemen…

Deputy Premier @RogerCookMLA has just announced the Government will partner with @CCI_WA to deliver an investment portfolio dealbook. A huge step forward in the state’s efforts to attract investment and diversify the economy.

A fantastic morning addressing the WA Chamber of Commerce & Industry in Perth. A strong economy & stronger future is of utmost importance to the WA business community. The Coalition’s economic plan is working & Australia’s economic recovery is leading the world. @CCI_WA

Fantastic reception with hundreds of WA business leaders today at ⁦@CCI_WA⁩ Post-Budget Breakfast with Treasurer ⁦@JoshFrydenberg⁩ “As the peak org advancing trade & commerce, there’s no more critical portfolio than Treasury, which financed the defence of 🇦🇺 jobs”

Shifting 600 jobs from the private sector into the state bureaucracy sends the wrong message. It could lead to taxpayers bearing higher costs, for lesser-quality infrastructure, less innovation and undermined confidence. Full statement: cciwa.com/media-statemen…

“We’ve got a stronger economy today than we had pre-pandemic. We have the highest proportion of people in a job in our history. 40,000 Australian lives have been saved by the response to COVID,” says ⁦@ScottMorrisonMP⁩ at the CCI_WA Business Breakfast

“I thank ⁦@CCI_WA⁩ for your partnership … the WA Chamber are a leading example of an organisation willing to roll up your sleeves to pursue better conditions for economic growth,” says the Prime Minister

Fantastic to host Prime Minister ⁦@ScottMorrisonMP⁩ at today’s ⁦@CCI_WA⁩ Business Breakfast. “At the start of COVID, few guessed Australia would be led back to record job-creation, stronger economic growth, and world-leading vaccine protection.” ⁦@CCI_CEO⁩

Today brings hope for: tourism 📸 hospitality 🍝 events 🎇 entertainment 🎸 international education 👩‍🎓 & aviation 🛬 It begins to ease supply chain issues & higher costs for our retailers🚚 And worker shortages among resources 👷‍♂️ construction 🏗️ manufacturing 🧑‍🏭 agriculture 🚜

Modern people want the choice of online short-stay accommodation. Too complex a system would mean "other States will snatch our students, tourists, investors & business travelers." "We'd be shooting ourselves in the foot," @AaronMorey tells @Kimatthewest thewest.com.au/business/comme…

The new rules include settings @CCI_WA sought to "better enable businesses to organise staff and plan for safe & continuous operations," says @CCI_CEO. "We've been helping businesses prepare... to move beyond emergency-level restrictions." @westaustralian thewest.com.au/business/econo…

"Concerns from the WA business community have grown... uncertainty about the border only compounds their challenges." ICYMI - @AaronMorey speaking to @RachelPupazzoni on @abcnews, on the impact of an indefinite border, iso and close contact rules, and calls for business support.

"Local technology companies say they're forced to consider relocating interstate, as WA’s border uncertainty severely impedes their ability to operate and remain globally competitive," @westaustralian More WA businesses regretfully looking elsewhere thewest.com.au/business/start…

On 12 June 2020 ⁦⁦⁦@CCI_WA⁩ first requested the ‘secret formula’ for reopening the WA economy. It was released late last year. Last night we found ourselves back in a familiar holding pattern. It’s critical we understand the new formula asap. cciwa.com/media-statemen…
