Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peaks Shippers Association (APSA), representing over 400 export, import and logistics businesses, have launched a series of formal submissions to the Federal Government advocating for elimination of stevedore-imposed Infrastructure Surcharges.
This week the alliance provided a formal submission to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Inquiry into the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for Australia's foreign affairs, defence and trade.
Paul Zalai, Director and Co-founder, FTA warns that incremental increases on an already high base would continue the devastating impacts on the Australian economy.
