WA is the standout state economy.

WA has the most to lose from the toxic attack on labour hire firms, used for legitimate reasons in our vital mining sector Chris Rodwell Aaron Morey cciwa.com/media-statemen…

Very glad to welcome the State Government’s reforms to environmental approvals today. Now attention turns to the Federal Government’s Nature Positive agenda; now firmly out of step with the policies and ambitions of our great state.

Jobs data out today. While the WA labour market is still tight by historical standards, there are now genuine signs of a loosening. The unemployment rate ticked up, hours worked decreased, and there was a swing from full-time to part-time. None of this of course unexpected.

Business breakfast CCIWA with Hon Rita Saffioti MLA - early mornings done right

WA’s economic outlook on the agenda at this morning’s CCIWA breakfast with Rita Saffioti Aaron Morey

.Rita Saffioti tells Aaron Morey she doesn’t believe the federal government will mess with WA’s GST share because “they know they would lose every seat in the state.”

Great to share a conversation with Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti at today's CCIWA Business Breakfast. The government's policy agenda is pointing in the right direction. CCIWA looks forward to continuing to work constructively with the government on the issues that matter.

CCIWA today hosted Western Australia's Deputy Premier and Treasurer, Rita Saffioti, to discuss options to grow and diversify the WA economy. Great event for our members and guests including some witty banter between Aaron Morey and the Treasurer in the Q&A! 🏉 #WA #Perth

Great to catch up with Treasurer Jim Chalmers to discuss the GST deal and other issues related to the growth and diversification of the WA economy.

The Victorian Government is outraged it subsidises South Australia via the GST system. It appears they have unwittingly aligned themselves with Western Australia on GST distribution policy. theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…

Great to join forces with other industry groups today, calling for the burden of payroll tax to be lowered on WA small & family businesses. Its unfair WA businesses pay the highest payroll tax in the country. There is an easy fix, and we call on the state govt to provide relief.

CCIWA has consistently highlighted the potential risks to WA's economy of the Federal Government's 'Nature Positive' reforms. Aaron Morey told Laura Tingle on abc730, concerns remain despite positive signs the Government is listening to industry. More: cciwa.com/business-pulse…

State budget is "all glitter, no gold" for WA businesses, who continue to pay the highest payroll tax in the nation Aaron Morey Chris Rodwell cciwa.com/media-statemen…

Federal budget is a leaky bucket, propped up by WA's mining sector Aaron Morey cciwa.com/media-statemen…

Great to be part of Team WA. thenightly.com.au/business/minin…

After reviewing today's national accounts release, there is no doubting that Western Australia is the strongest economy in the nation. Despite this record activity however, small business profits are almost non-existent and require urgent policy support.
