George, Page joins Pollies for Small Business activities

August 10, 2008

Member for Lismore Thomas George and Member for Ballina Don Page will join more than 80 of their State and Federal colleagues across New South Wales as they are put to work as part of the NSW Business Chamber’s annual Pollies for Small Business program.

Mr George will be visiting local businesses Escape Coffee Lounge in Murwillumbah on Monday 11 August between 9am-11am and Café 29 Downtown in Lismore on Tuesday 12 August between 11am-1pm.

On Monday 11 August Don Page will be at Seaside Motorcycles, 21 Kerr Street, from 9.30am, and Byron Images, corner of Jonson and Lawson streets, from noon.

Mr George said he was looking forward to the experience of being in a small business operator’s shoes for a day.

“Having been a small business owner, I know the important part it plays in the community. Pollies for Small Business gives me the chance to get back to the coalface and refresh myself with its highlights and troubles, but also gives small business operators the chance to raise their concerns directly with me,” said Mr George.

Kevin MacDonald, CEO of NSW Business Chamber, said that last year 83 State and Federal politicians took part from the major parties, Greens and independents, including the Premier and NSW Opposition Leader.

The NSW Business Chamber Pollies for Small Business program is run in co-operation with the local Chamber of Commerce network.
