In another show of support by a government for Australian businesses, the State Government in Queensland has contracted US giant Staples to distribute the state’s learn to drive log book and keys to driving in Queensland. Queensland newsagents now have to buy from Staples thanks to the state government.
GNS offers a perfect distribution channel for both publications given that newsagents are the go to retailers for these. GNS is Australian owned.
Politicians making these decisions to give US companies ahead of Australian businesses need to be held to account. Even if using an Australian business costs a little more the economic benefit is greater for the country and the state if they appoint an Australian supplier. Sadly they will not realise the damage until its too late.
In SA we can no longer source these books (5 years or so) as they are only
available from Service SA (govt dept of
transport).
We say no dozens of times a month to it
and it was a good service for us to provide.
