They are going to increase taxes on hardworking small businesses if they ever get to occupy these Treasury benches, but they will not be up-front with the small business community about that. You will not hear from the Leader of the Opposition or the shadow Treasurer an honest statement that it is their intention to lift the taxes on small and medium-sized businesses that have been passed through this parliament. But if they do not say that, what they are saying is that they have a $30 billion black hole in their costings, because they costed all of those changes. So, what is it? Do they support small businesses and will they stand by the small business and medium-sized business tax cuts, or will they be honest and tell Australian small businesses that they are going to say no to them, as they keep saying no to a positive economic growth plan that is being pursued by this government?
