NSW gets a minister for domestic manufacturing and procurement


New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has created a new portfolio to drive a domestic manufacturing boost in the state by redirecting procurement dollars towards local opportunities.

The portfolio of Domestic Manufacturing and Government Procurement will be led by Finance minister Courney Houssos, who last week played an important role in shaping Labor’s first Budget for 12 years with Treasurer Daniel Mookhey.

“I have asked Courtney to step into the highly important area of boosting domestic manufacturing and to end the exodus of jobs and ideas offshore,” the Premier said announcing the new portfolio on Tuesday.
