ELECTION OF NEW SA GOVERNMENT

Statement by Stephen Myatt, Head - South Australia, Australian Industry Group


"Ai Group congratulates the new South Australian Premier Steven Marshall and his team on their election over the weekend," Ai Group SA Head, Stephen Myatt, said today.

"The election of the Government in its own right will contribute to policy stability and we look forward to working with Premier Marshall and his Senior Ministers as they implement their ambitious reform agenda.

"South Australia continues to be a state in transition, grappling with high energy costs and reliability issues and the general cost of doing business and our members recognise that the business of Government will not be without its challenges.

"We also want to place on record our thanks to outgoing Premier Jay Weatherill. Despite major structural changes in our economy such of the closure of the car industry, Mr Weatherill was always passionate about achieving the best results for South Australia on the local and national stage.

"We wish him well for the future and it is welcome that he will continue to contribute to the Parliament in the coming term," Mr Myatt said. ---
