Celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of family owned businesses on National Family Business Day, 19 September

Family owned businesses play a crucial role in the economy and our communities. Some of Australia’s most successful businesses are family businesses. They are also some of the most enduring, over generations, building a legacy in name and value to the Australian community. And for some of Australia’s largest businesses that once started out as a family business, their business success is also part of Australia’s economic fabric.

It's been just over a week since the government's Economic Reform Roundtable was held.

Was the three-day event productive? I'd say yes. There was lots of discussion and views being put around the table. There was a clear recognition of the need to ease the crippling regulatory burden and restoring incentives to take risk, invest and innovate.
