"The Australian Industry Group congratulates Michael Daley on his election as NSW Labor Leader and Leader of the State Opposition," Mark Goodsell, Ai Group NSW Head said today.
"We have worked constructively with Mr Daley as a Minister in the previous government and as Shadow Treasurer in recent times.
"He has always shown a constructive understanding of the importance of business in growing jobs and wealth for strong communities. He appreciates that the strengths of the State's balanced economy lie with a productive mix of services, traditional and advanced manufacturing, construction, mining and agriculture.
"Mr Daley has an opportunity to develop an agenda that is favourable to investment, the development of workforce skills and the creation of productive workplaces.
"We look forward to working with him, his new Deputy, Penny Sharpe and their team," Mr Goodsell said.
