** ATIA COMMUNITY **

Hi All, Ingrid and I will be Canberra for the next couple of days attending the National Party Conference as well as few side bar meetings with government staffers. 

We will be raising our issues such as Skills, Qatar and fair markets (access to products and services from airlines) but if there is anything else you want us to raise please drop a comment here so we can pick them up. 

Cheers, Dean

Skills is a big one Dean, and the fact that not all States are on board with TAFE and brining in novices.

I have also been advised that a few government departments don't actually use Australian based agencies for their corporate travel arrangements and are using international platforms for their bookings. I think  it's time we rattle the cages and make sure that Government Travel is done locally.
