The Hunter is the largest regional economy in Australia, punching above its weight in advanced manufacturing, food and agribusiness, defence and energy resources. The seats of New England and Lyne both have footprints in the Hunter. They are relevant to the region and its ambitions in participating in and contributing to the rebuilding of the Australian economy. The Prime Minister’s recent visit outlined the Government's Energy Roadmap and Modern Manufacturing Plan - continue the conversation with Matt Canavan, Barnaby Joyce and Dr David Gillespie on industry, policy and initiatives to grow the Hunter.

This will be a facilitated panel discussion where the audience will have ample opportunity to put questions to these experienced and senior members of the National Party and Coalition Government.
