"...our local area has always been special to me.
It's important that I continue to work hard and represent the needs of Ryan residents, in order to ensure practical benefits are delivered for our local community.
Clearly, my job is not only to speak out in Canberra but to do what I can here at home."

Michael Johnson the Federal Member for Ryan, said he was delighted to host the first of five meetings to be held over the coming year, with members of the Ryan Small Business & Employment Advisory Committee.

This new initiative provides an excellent opportunity for the Ryan small business community to voice their concerns on issues affecting everyday small businesses in our local area," Mr Johnson said.
Last night's meeting laid the foundation for what I know is going to be a very productive year ahead."
What's great about this initiative is that it provides an avenue for small businesses to have an open and effective means of communications with not only their local Federal Member, but with the Federal Government."
I received a tremendous response from our business communi who were keen to get involved in this unique initiative. The response was so great that the Advisory Committee was expanded from 15 members to include 16 members.
Those small business operators on the Committee include: Mr Michael Chung,Qld Business
