Dear Member,

I hope that you, your families, friends and teams are well.

The initial shock of COVID-19 is now felt by all. Emergency legislation has been finalised and broadly speaking the extent of Government intent and intervention is understood but needs to be enhanced. We want to continue receiving feedback from you and to amplify your concerns. We hear your challenges and we know that cashflow is an immense and growing hurdle, and alleviation measures need to be facilitated by government.
