The good news is that things are changing. In the last few years, Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have significantly invested in our relationships with the executive branch of politics. We have formed relationships with all relevant ministers, shadow ministers, at both a state and federal level, and their advisors. We have several key supporters in Canberra, on both sides of the chamber, and we are enormously grateful for their support. We have been elected to the National Committee for Trade Facilitation (the national peak committee for trade affairs), as well being admitted to major committees facilitated by the border agencies - the Australian Border Force (ABF), the Department
of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR), and the Office of Transport Security (OTS) - refer attached for the full article.
