COSBOA says 'Thanks Malcolm, welcome new team ... not let's get on with it'

THE Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) today congratulated Scott Morrison on becoming the new Prime Minister of Australia and looks forward to hearing what the Coalition has in store for small business.

“Thanks Malcolm, welcome to the new team, now let’s get on with it,” declared Peter Strong, small business advocate and CEO of COSBOA, today after a tumultuous week in Canberra. 

"Mr Morrison has done an excellent job with the Australian economy and has shown a great understanding of and support for small business," he said.

"We believe in his new role as Prime Minister, this will only continue to improve. We also thank Malcolm Turnbull for what he achieved in office; the economy has improved under his leadership.

“We offer commiserations to Mr Dutton and hope that he will continue in the ministry to provide positive support for the Morrison Government.

“Our congratulations also go to Josh Frydenberg on becoming the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party,” said Mr Strong.

COSBOA is very aware that while the Liberal Party leadership drama was unfolding, small businesses continued to operate, providing employment, services and products to the Australian community.

Mr Strong said, “Next week we will host the key small business policy event of the year, the Vodafone National Small Business Summit, which will focus on energy, telecommunications, regulations and the future for small business. This is an incredibly timely event which will help bed-down vital policy measures needed for certainty and direction in the small business arena. We will hear from Chris Bowen, the Shadow Treasurer, who will reveal his stance on the role small business plays in our economy.”
