The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry notes the significant changes to portfolios affecting the business community as announced by the Prime Minister this afternoon.

Of most relevance to Australia’s largest and most representative business network are the new Ministers in the portfolios of Home Affairs, Immigration and Cybersecurity, Employment and Workplace Relations and Training and Skills.

Accordingly, we welcome the appointments of Tony Burke, Senator Murray Watt and Andrew Giles in their respective portfolios.

ACCI looks forward to working constructively with all the newly appointed ministers in their relevant portfolios.
