Labor MP Matt Thistlethwaite says Federal Labor MPs have “spent the last few months out consulting with the business community at all levels”. Mr Thistlethwaite told Sky News there was a lot of frustration in the business community due to “the lack of an economic plan".
He said the government failed to "look at productivity and innovation and lay the foundations for future economic success". “Labor is responding to those concerns through its approach to economic management… because you’re just not getting that from the current government at the moment” he said. The Labor MP said he was heartened by the feedback received from local businesses about Labor’s willingness to listen.
