Policy urged
LAKE Macquarie mayor Jodie Harrison has urged Premier Mike Baird to adopt a policy that would see government tendering provide a weighting for tenders from NSW, and further weighting for tenders from regional NSW. Writing an op-ed piece for The Newcastle Herald, Cr Harrison said such a policy "would not only create direct jobs in our region, it would create flow-on jobs because of increased spending".
