While both leaders “sidestepped a little” on making an exact case about why they should get into government in their final addresses, Mr Grose said it was positive to see them recognise each other in a civil and polite manner.
“It was good to see a focus on business during the debate,” he said.
“I probably would have liked to have seen more detail about specific business issues and I would have liked to see more on the IT space and where our technology can go.”
Mr Grose would also have liked a deeper vision to be shared about cutting the red tape businesses face with local councils.
“I understand it is difficult to take those sort of questions in a debate scenario, but it was good to see both leaders recognise that there is a lot more work that can to be done to help business thrive and get on with its projects.”
