The Minister discussed a range of issues with the management and staff of Bayly, and spent considerable time with us learning about our processes, skills and experiences in defence and related endeavours.

Phil Barresi, the local member for Deakin, was excited and proud of Bayly's achievements. He was previously unaware that Bayly had operated from his electorate for so many years, and was very excited about our continued involvement and success in Defence.

The Minister was kind enough to invite Mark Bayly, Marc Fraser and Dean West to a private luncheon afterwards with himself and a handful of key Defence industry people.
