Bipartisan commitment to National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy

Shipping Australia has joined with other industry associations represented at the ALC Forum held in Melbourne this week to welcome commitment from both the sides of politics to progressing the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy.

The Deputy Prime Minister said “Good progress is being made in partnership with all levels of government and it will be a key item of discussion at the next COAG Transport and Infrastructure Ministerial Council Meeting.”

Commenting on the Strategy during his address to Forum, Mr. Albanese confirmed “…a future Labor Government would not try and reinvent the wheel yet again.”

The full text of the joint media statement is available here.
