The fact that there is no clear winner at this time means we are now in a kind of political limbo, with the future of issues such as the proposed minerals tax, company tax cuts, paid parental leave, broadband, a price on carbon emissions along with a raft of other policy measures now unclear in the short term at least.
However much of this will be more clear by the time CPA Congress rolls around. And in keeping with this year’s Congress theme of Navigating the New, I’ll be presenting at five of the Congresses on business and tax issues again this year, and I look forward to meeting many of you there.
Also for those who can’t make it in person this year, please note that we’re also offering Virtual Congress, so there’s no excuses for not participating, learning something new to enhance your careers and also enable you to get your CPD hours up!
In the meantime, and if you haven’t done so already, why not also check out CPA Australia’s Federal Election 2010 page. Regardless of the final election outcome, CPA Australia’s post election priorities are now well established and can be viewed on this site. We will pursue these priorities on behalf of members and the profession as we Navigate the New.
As always we look forward to your comments and feedback.
