ANF and NANA Unity Agreement
On Tuesday 24th May, the Australian Newsagents’ Federation (ANF) and the Newsagents Association of NSW & ACT (NANA) signed an historic agreement that cements national and state representations and advocacy for their Member Newsagents. This agreement is the culmination of six months of strategic efforts by both boards and executives.
Beginning 1 July 2011, all Member Newsagents in NSW and the ACT will be offered joint benefits and services provided by the ANF and NANA.
ANF CEO Alf Maccioni said now that there are arrangements with all states the ANF can represent the entire industry on a national basis facilitating a strong united front to address industry issues.
NANA President Andrew Packham said, “this is the representative structure that gives member Newsagents a real voice. In NSW and the ACT, Member Newsagents will experience even more effective and broader spectrum advocacies from this union, whether it is dealing with suppliers or government. NANA and ANF will continue to single-mindedly focus on producing business results for our Members. Now is the time to be a Member and have your say.”
Well done to everyone involved in what has been a long journey.

Will we see action to change the mag distribution problem? I’m thinking not.
