iCooperate is a global campaign for members of co-operatives to identify themselves and share their stories in the lead up to the International Day of Co-operatives (July 7) and beyond.
Federal parliament debated the role of co-operatives in Australian communities and the economy and the need to continue working with the States and Territories to implement nationally consistent laws governing co-operatives, at the Monday, 25 June sitting.
"People are looking for institutions they can trust. However [co-ops] strength is not only financial, it is ethical. Co-operatives are social businesses."
