The deal reached by the parties brought stability to our supply chains.

Key Points:

The deal reached by the parties brought stability to our supply chains.
But another dispute and disruption on that scale is still possible, and that's not good enough.
The workers and businesses that depend on our ports deserve long-term solutions.
Previous governments have commissioned reports on past disputes and analysis on these issues has already been done.
