Small business support
Mr WAKELING: Over recent weeks I have visited many local businesses across Knox. Many businesses face an uncertain future, which has been confirmed in a recent survey that I conducted with local businesses. Many businesses have raised serious concerns about the lack of support they have received from the Andrews government, both during and post COVID. These businesses are gravely concerned with the impact of new taxes and charges that are being imposed on them by this government. Knox businesses need to have hope. They need support. Unlike the current Labor government, the Liberal Party is committed to working with local businesses to help them to recover and rebuild from the impact of six lockdowns.
