@JacquiLambie @ja Thanks for your well wishes as we plan for the future at @BCAcomau. I’ve appreciated the honesty, integrity and passion you have for the country and those who don’t always get heard. For the time being, I will continue to work tirelessly for long-term growth and prosperity.

We also have an obligation to create mentally safe workplaces and look at how we can design jobs differently to better support the overall mental wellbeing of our teams.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

It is time for us to stop thinking about mental health only in the context of the pandemic and start thinking about how the system could be improved to better support people living with mental illness.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

Stigma around mental health still exists, and as leaders we need to do more to create an environment where people feel safe about disclosing or managing their mental illness at work.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

To avoid missing opportunities, we need coordination between state and federal governments and business so this is in the DNA of companies and the soul of the economy.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

@JAWestacott is speaking at this morning’s @FinancialReview #EnergyAndClimateSummit with @TonyBoydAFR, Matt Halliday of @AmpolAustralia and @Tayanah of @Green_Dot

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

One of the things that is lost in this debate is that this is a central economic issue.

[Strong Australia Network @StrongAusNet]

The @BCAcomau supports long term infrastructure compacts to feed into our national pipeline to link our regions together.

[Strong Australia Network @StrongAusNet]

We need to attract skilled people to Australia right now, and we need the system to get Australians skilled up for the long term.

[Strong Australia Network @StrongAusNet]

When we think about regionalisation, we need to think about population differently. It’s not just about numbers. Businesses want skilled workers. We are seeing shortages in every sector. We need to make sure we have the right people for the right jobs.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

Keeping unemployment low and sustaining wages growth will be a major challenge. Australia must drive stronger economic performance by making itself more competitive, boosting productivity, and attracting new investment.

[Jennifer Westacott @JAWestacott]

Business, unions and civil society groups agree that a strong Australia is one that sees the benefits of a stronger and more productive, competitive economy shared in better jobs, growing wages and the ability of all Australians to get ahead.

[Business Council of Australia @BCAcomau]
