Mark, thanks for your leadership and the kind introduction.
Andrew, congratulations on clocking up 4 years in the role now and thanks for the invitation to join you and your members.
Let’s acknowledge together the elders, customs and culture of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people on their traditional lands.
I also want to shout‑out some of my Ministerial colleagues joining us tonight – Murray, Anne, Patrick and Andrew.
As well as the Shadow Treasurer and other members and senators from across the parliament.
To all the ACCI members here – thank you all for the jobs and opportunities you create around the country.
Thank you for the important role local chambers play in every community represented here in the parliament.
And thanks for the chance to speak to you over dinner about 3 things that occupy almost all of my time as Treasurer.
Building on momentum in the private sector.
Making progress on the directions we set at the reform roundtable.
Against a backdrop of serious and persistent global volatility.
