Mike Jessop of Oceancraft, Uta Rabinger of the Bavarian Beach Bar & Cafe at Mooloolaba and Kendall Morton of Home Care Assistance Sunshine Coast, among many other players. The minister spoke with these local businesses in small roundtable discussions about the importance of access to skilled and motivated workers, the need to minimise red tape and the need to keep business taxes low—all issues on which our federal government is taking decisive action.
