One thing I don’t like about democracy is that there’s always a group who don’t care who gets hurt provided the economy goes downhill enough that there’s a change in government…. provided, of course, they aren’t hurt too much themselves.

I think I interact with a couple of that group on here......

I'm sure that the owners of the 2700 businesses that have gone broke in the last 12 months will be bouyed by your optimisn.

The positive upturn in the data coming through at the moment means that soon we will be going well again and no more businesses shutting. That’s something to be positive about!

We’ve had 5 years of business stress since Covid started and I’m ready for a rock star economy again. All these businesses going bust now have never recovered from COVID times.

5 long hard years! Bring on the good times!

Good luck with your optimism and I really hope you are right. My point was that a lot of people don't share your thoughts regardless of what you or the Coalition spin

If you had have said “a lot” or “many” you might be more accurate but “all” is just disinformation

I dare say it's not going to endear Chloe to the electorate in the way she hopes if we owe $24 billion in offset credits.

There’s an untapped source of income…. the Top 5%.

In any case, it’s amazing how the lefties loved the openly anti business, shut down industry, smash businesses with cost and taxes govt but now cry crocodile tears when anti business policies during a once in a century economic shock plays out in the real economy.

Trickle down doesn’t work anyway, who cares about rich business owners as I’ve heard many times on these pages…

Disclaimer: not all failed business would be affected by the same issues. Tough economic times weed out inferior businesses and some of these may have failed anyway. Some businesses may have been undercapitalised, some businesses may have had idiots running them. These are the writers personal opinion based on his experience and no fact will be supplied.. Decisions of the current govt could have contributed to some business’s failing. If you read this far, your obviously bored, so I will entertain you by saying I have an electric vehicle and a business so I might stand for the Greens next election and show them the sustainable pro business way…

Tax report on the top 300 wealthiest individuals - the top 0.000001% to justify a new tax on the top 10% (including some middle and low income earners)

Labour maths.

Don't forget the $12b that Labour is going to reinstate for Pay Parity and we're talking a fair bit of coin to find from the top 5%
