NewzOne Nation is considering the revival of New South Wales trade commissioner positions that were previously abolished following a political controversy involving allegations of cronyism. The proposal comes as the party’s state leader, Mike Newman, seeks to address the state's international trade representation.
Mike Newman previously served as the New South Wales senior trade and investment commissioner in Tokyo, holding the role from 2022 until 2024. The trade posts were originally scrapped by the state government in response to the 'jobs for the boys' scandal, which centered on the appointment of political figures to high-level diplomatic roles.
