Insider tactics: how to get things done with MPs and peak bodies

This session was recorded in August 2022 and was part of our ‘Empowered Communities: Next Steps’ Convention.

Speakers discuss what peak bodies are and how they relate to MPs, as well as how politicians work with peak bodies. We hear practical examples of how peak bodies can be a conduit between the community and their MP, and how communities can work with peak bodies to further their issues and get things done.

Facilitator: Cathy McGowan AO

Panel: Rebekha Sharkie MP, Andrew Wilkie MP and Peter Strong (former CEO of Council of Small Business Australia)
