Boating - Smooth sailing with the Minister

The Boating Industry Association (BIA) made the most of the recent summer boat show by spending some quality time with Ports Minister David Hodgett.

Senior BIA officials joined Mr Hodgett for a pleasant cruise around Docklands on January 31.

According to BIA chief executive officer Steven Gill, the association had a number of issues to discuss with Mr Hodgett.

He said the BIA used the occasion to build the relationship with the Minister in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
