The Business Council of Australia congratulates the Hon. Sussan Ley on her election as Leader of the Opposition.
We welcome her commitment today to engage constructively with businesses of all sizes.
Six out of every seven workers are employed by the private sector, with around 80 per cent of Australia's economic output coming from business.
Policies that back businesses of all sizes are good for people right across Australia - in our cities, suburbs, regions and rural areas.
Solving Australia's productivity challenge is central to improving living standards and will require a concerted effort from the whole Parliament and the business community working together.
We also welcome the election of Deputy Liberal Leader Ted O'Brien, and we look forward to working with the Coalition to support a more productive and competitive economy that delivers for all Australians.
