My question is to the Treasurer. With our economy recently recording the weakest annual financial year growth in years, small to medium sized family owned businesses are struggling. Yet these business owners from North Sydney and beyond, and tax experts, have raised serious concerns with me about the Australian Taxation Office's aggressive debt-enforcement action increasingly targeting them. Treasurer: will your government issue guidance or a mandate to the ATO to ensure debt-collection processes targeting small to medium sized businesses are conducted in a way that recognises tough economic times?
