Paul Swain Will Bring A Pragmatic Face To The Table

Commenting on the appointment of Hon Paul Swain as the new Minister of Labour, Chamber CEO Michael Barnett, said that in other portfolios such as transport and small business he had always listened to the concerns of business, and shown an understanding of the links between business, the community and a successful economy.

With such a pragmatic approach and a good working relationship with business, he would bring a welcome face to the table for negotiations on legislation that would have an impact on building a successful economy.
