Statement on the election of Scott Morrison as Prime Minister

The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomes the election of Scott Morrison by the Federal Liberal Party as Australia’s 30th Prime Minister.

The Victorian Chamber looks forward to working with Prime Minister Morrison, Deputy Leader Josh Frydenberg and the Coalition Cabinet to create a better business environment and a more prosperous nation.

The Victorian Chamber acknowledges the service of Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop to Australia and the legacy they leave – more Australians in work than ever, tax cuts for small business, and new trade agreements that create opportunities for local businesses – to name just a few.

The Victorian Chamber calls on the Morrison Government to move on quickly from its internal focus and to repair the damage done to Australia from this period of political instability. ---
