My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Minister for Education and Minister for Social Inclusion. I refer the minister to her disparaging comments yesterday in this House about beauticians and similar small businesses. I also refer the minister to her previous attacks on small business, including the Lilac City Motor Inn, Goulburn, and her threat that business should step back from policy debates or it may get injured. Does the minister really understand the negative impact on business confidence from her continuing attacks?
