This is a question for the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Small businesses in Wentworth are really struggling, and one of the main reasons is complex regulation that has gotten worse this term. Members of the crossbench wrote to the government about raising the threshold of the definition of 'small business' from 15 to 25 workers. Now, this isn't expected to cost $125 million, $1.6 billion or even $10 billion a year. Will the government support the implementation of this reasonable and measurable, practical policy that would support small business?
