Furthermore, the Federal government announced that the office of the Minister for Small Business has been retained as a Cabinet-level appointment.

The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson has welcomed Aly’s appointment and looks forward to working with her on the implementation of the Government’s small business election commitments.

“There are many opportunities to further support small and family business at a time when many are reporting really challenging trading conditions, and I look forward to collaborating with Minister Aly and her colleagues to progress initiatives to ‘energise enterprise’,” Billson said.

Meanwhile, former Small Business Minister Julie Collins was reappointed as Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry, another important office as many small and family businesses belong to the agriculture sector.

Another notable appointee is Dr Daniel Mulino who is named the new Assistant Treasury Minister for Financial Services, a significant office that is influential to the taxation, regulatory and operating environment small and family businesses inhabit.
