Last night in Parliament members of the Labor government seriously suggested that I develop a trade policy. Astounding, considering their Trade Minister has abolished our 2021 Trade Statement with literally nothing to replace it. You can watch my contribution criticising the Government's decision to abolish the Department of Trade. They have fundamentally misunderstood the role of the economy and business to a prosperous state. My utter frustration (watch from 5:39) is hard to contain. #trade #nswpol #economy #growth #business #exports

Smart take by Alan Beattie with lessons beyond the UK "there are some signs that the Labour party is grasping the pointlessness of running around signing pieces of paper for the sake of it. In practice, a Labour trade policy is likely to amount to helping companies benefit from existing trade agreements rather than signing new ones." Less show, more impact is key to rebuild the political consensus around trade not only in the UK. One thing the piece could have added is that enabling companies to make use of trade agreements, in part, depends on new trade rules. Streamlined custom procedures, electronic filing, mutual recognition (or better harmonization) of digital identifiers -- these are the less glamourous, but more impactful areas of future trade rules. So if governments want to sign pieces of paper, it better should involve trade facilitation.

A review of Down to Business from Kirkus Reviews - soooo exciting!!! "A many-voiced chorus of encouragement for business-minded readers." Full review: In condensed interviews, a small army of business owners and corporate executives dish out general reflections and advice for tween capitalists. A range of small- to medium-sized business founders, corporate or philanthropic foundation executives and management experts, venture capitalists, and even a government official with a business background sound off on topics including significant character traits they see in themselves and look for in their employees, identifying missions and potential markets, leveraging social media, and networking. In deference to self-starters with shorter attention spans, the authors (both high school students) end each entry with pithy lists of “Key Takeaways” pulled from the Q&A profiles. Considering the wide range of backgrounds and experiences represented, the book includes much difference of opinion—in particular, about the value, or even necessity, of going to college—but the interviewees have a general consensus that climate change, social inequities, and sustainability are crucial issues to consider for every product or enterprise. And, if some interviewees lean into jargon, many more set out clear, concise expressions of their approaches, challenges, and goals (the nonfinancial kind: Money is seldom mentioned, even in passing). While nearly all the contributors are based in the U.S., many are immigrants or children of immigrants, and in addition to ethnic diversity, there’s equity in gender balance, including one genderfluid, nonbinary app creator, offering readers a broad range of perspectives on entrepreneurial life. https://lnkd.in/evUqTuKN #teenauthors #entrepreneurship
