The GST deal holds a unique status in WA, ensuring economic development is not disincentivized in 🇦🇺

It comes up at every Budget, and it's an ongoing credit to leaders across both parties and business - Turnbull, Barnett, Morrison, McGowan, @CCI_WA - who achieved & defended it.

As several voices in today's @westaustralian call for a culture that innovates and fosters investment, @CCI_WA's surveys suggest 2 in every 5 businesses are responding to current challenges by taking up new technology.

1 in every 5 are set to adopt AI

Here’s a glimpse behind the scenes of our @CCIWA @AaronMorey interview with @flashpoint7wa Tim McMillan, on today's release of @CCI_WA economic ‘Outlook’ report for WA in 2023.

If you’re watching in WA, it’ll air shortly on @SevenPerth

Leading the @westaustralian Business Section today, @CCI_WA calls to ease WA's tax on jobs.

Alongside recommendations for a more diverse & competitive economy, @CCI_WA launched a digital tool to show WA businesses how much more they pay than other States

And the @smh reports that small businesses will bear costs of *at least* $14,600 and medium businesses $75,000 due to the push for multi-employer bargaining.

(And that's an under-estimate)

There’s an open letter in every major metro newspaper today, with a united stance from national, state & territory Chambers of Commerce.

Businesses can't be any more clear; the workplace relations bill being debated will backfire on the economy if it's passed.

The 8-page wrap and comprehensive coverage of the Govt’s first Budget is a credit to the ⁦⁦@westaustralian⁩

Interesting discussion with Minister @MadeleineMHKing at today’s @CCI_WA Breakfast on investment, batteries, the defence industry and more.

“WA has a remarkable opportunity in our incredible endowment of critical minerals…”

The insights from @CCI_WA's local household and business confidence reports always provide important context to the headline economic story.

Good to see CCIWA's Consumer Confidence Survey feature on @abcnews by @KeaneBourke

[Thomas Adolph @ThomasRayAdolph]

@tomwconnell @lcalcutt Sounds right. Go well Lane

[Thomas Adolph @ThomasRayAdolph]

Amid rising costs, Western Australians are looking for more competitive prices & taxes. The latest @CCI_WA survey shows households re-assessing brands on price and 'ESG'. Heartened by the jobs market, respondents also backed reducing WA's tax on jobs.

...but the cold winds of inflation are taking some of the heat off optimism, with living costs and interest rates weighing heavily on the minds of West Australians.
