Thank you to the wonderful NSW Parliamentarians who came together last week to form the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Co-operatives and Mutuals.
The co-chairs Clayton Barr MP, Gurmesh Singh MP and Jenny Leong MP, and colleagues across parliament have committed to supporting growing awareness and understanding of the sector and the policies that will enable co-ops and mutuals to thrive and prosper for the communities in which they operate.
We look forward to the first official Friends event.
