I do support divestiture. I spoke about the need to do more, Member for Kennedy. I spent over a decade working in the FMCG industry, and I saw firsthand the predatory behaviour of Woolworths and Coles and how they punish small businesses and food manufacturers. I was in the room on those conversations. I will support small business, and Woolworths and Coles do need to be brought to account, but the government also has to do more to create the conditions for small business to survive. Small businesses don't want a handout; they just want the ability to go about their business in a strong economic environment. (Time expired)
