Today Tony Pasin the Federal Member for Barker launched the ‘Go Local First’ in Barker campaign calling on local residents in Barker to ‘Go Local First’.
Funded by the Morrison Government, the national campaign led by the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia (COSBOA) will urge Australians to ‘Go Local First’ when they are purchasing products and services to help the small business sector get back on its feet.
The campaign will highlight the vital role of small businesses in our nation’s economic recovery from COVID-19.
Tony Pasin MP said now more than ever Australian small businesses need local communities to back them and support their recovery by choosing to shop with them either in person or online.
“Australians know when they make the choice to go to their local small businesses, they are supporting their local community, this is all the more important in regional communities” Tony Pasin said.
The ‘Go Local First’ in Barker campaign will feature numerous small businesses from across the electorate including cafes, chemists, retailers, trades, hairdressers, butchers, accountants and bookkeepers.
“Spending with local small businesses keeps money within our communities, helping the local economy thrive,” said Mr Pasin.
“The resourcefulness of Australians working together will see us emerge stronger on the other side. I encourage everyone in our local community to actively support this campaign and do whatever you can to back our fantastic small and family businesses and Go Local First.”
Over the coming months, Australians will see the ‘Go Local First’ national campaign message on TV, radio, online and in their community. For more information on the campaign visit: www.golocalfirst.com.au
