A motion was moved in the Assembly regarding local businesses and the establishment of a local business advisory council. As a new local member, I have started engaging with as many local businesses in Murrumbidgee to hear from them about their needs.

I'm proud to work alongside a Government that offers many initiatives to help support local business during these tough times. I'd urge all local businesses to reach out if they need support and make sure they are taking advantage of any rebates that are available to them.

"Local businesses are critical to a healthy ACT economy...
Never has this been more evident than during the pandemic."
