COALITION GOVERNMENT TO REVIVE AUSTRALIA’S SMALL BUSINESS SECTOR
An LNP Government will get small and family businesses back on track after three disastrous years under the Albanese Labor Government.
Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien said small business is the engine room of the Australian economy and the Coalition’s Plan for ‘Small and Family Business’ will support this important sector by cutting costly red tape, boosting investment, and driving productivity.
“Small business is suffering under Labor’s economic, energy, and industrial relations policies that are driven up inflation and stretching household budgets to breaking point,” Mr O’Brien said.
“Under the Albanese Labor Government, 27,000 businesses have collapsed. That’s the worst run of business insolvencies on record in this country.”
The LNP’s plan includes a range of measures to make it easier to start a business, and to reduce the cost of doing business and deliver lower costs for consumers.
These include:
- Tax relief measures to make it easier to start a business and support growth and investment opportunities.
- Better finance to make it easier for small business to get loans, funding, and investment.
- Cutting red tape to improve efficiency and remove regulatory constraints.
- Cheaper energy in both the short and long term.
- Simplifying employment laws and work incentives.
“There are more than 20,000 businesses employing thousands of people across Wide Bay who will benefit from the LNP’s Small and Family Business Plan to deliver lower costs for consumers and help Australians get ahead,” Mr O’Brien said.
The commitment is part of the Coalition’s plan to strengthen local communities and get Australia back on track. To read more about our plan, visit www.lnp.au/ontrack.
