‘MPs in Business’ Program launched at EXTEL Communications

 

Melbourne, Australia

Mar 1, 2004

On 25th February 2004, the Victorian State Premier, Steve Bracks, joined by local State Member of Parliament, Maxine Morand, officially launched the ‘MPs in Business’ program at the premises of Extel Communications in Mount Waverley.

 

The initiative, launched by the Victorian Government and Victorian Employer’s Chamber of Commerce (VECCI), saw the placement of more than 30 State Government Members of Parliament with business hosts across the state.

 

The program aims to give these Members of Parliament first-hand experience of the issues and challenges facing businesses, and give businesses an insight into the role and work of parliamentary representatives. Business hosts for the program were drawn from small, medium and large employers, high-tech and more “traditional” enterprises around Victoria.

 

The parliamentarian, Maxine Morand, spent the day meeting with senior management, interacting with employees, touring the factory site and learning about the business activities, history, performance, prospects and daily workings of EXTEL. Previously a health professional, Ms Morand said she greatly appreciated the opportunity to gain further insight into EXTEL’s successful and innovative business and particularly the business and export world of telecommunications.
