I will fight to get rid of the worst government in our history. Labor’s socialism will not win.
Oct 10
Unlike Labor, I don’t believe government is about wielding power.
It’s about empowering its citizens.
Indeed, life is about service and responsibility – about doing something for the greater good.
My grandfather taught me that.
He was the chief engineer of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme at a time when every dam and tunnel came in ahead of time and below budget.
More than anything, I believe in hard work.
That’s what growing up on a farm within a multi-generational farming family teaches you.
And I tell you what else it teaches you:
You’ve got to know the value of every single dollar.
Every dollar matters.
No dollar can be wasted.
You’ve got to budget for every drum of drench. Every fence post. Every trip to the market.
On the farm, you must account for every single dollar.
And that’s the mentality you need whether you’re managing a farming budget or a federal budget.
Friends:
I’m no career politician.
I started and ran my own successful business.
I’ve worked across the agriculture, energy, resource, and infrastructure sectors.
I’ve advised small and large businesses on how to grow.
I’ve helped industries to deregulate and become more productive.
I know how to get Australia out of the hole Labor has put us in.
I know how to reboot our economy.
But I can’t do it alone.
Good government isn’t built around one figure.
You need a strong team.
Matt Canavan is no career politician either.
Matt and people right across the Liberal and National parties have worked and succeeded in business and industry.
And on top of a strong team, we have a strong plan.
A plan to fix our economy and to protect our way of life.

The man is a clown, but not the entertaining kind.

Small businesses are on their knees. Labor have consistently smashed business owners by increasing their taxes, energy bills and their rents.
The Coalition will always stand up for small business.

This would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious. But it demonstrates the reality of this government’s attitude towards small business.
They want small business to cough up, shut up, and close up.
Oct 9
Labor actually thinks they’re helping small businesses. What world are they living in?
Oct 9
Labor is giving the Tax Office a taxpayer-funded handout while 30 businesses go bust every day.
This is another mistake from Labor. They’re in Government. The Tax Office administers their tax policy.
We will put forward legislation next week to fix this and scrap the ban.
Oct 9
Small businesses don’t need the ATO’s credit card ban delayed. They need it scrapped.
This is a stay of execution funded by taxpayers.
This is another mistake from Jim Chalmers. Jim Chalmers is the Treasurer. The Tax Office administers his tax policy. He should take responsibility and fix it.
We will put forward legislation next week to fix this and scrap the ban.
Oct 9
It`s clear that Labor has taken small business for granted.
The Liberals and Nationals will always back small businesses.
We believe government should make it easier – not harder – to start, run and grow a small business.
Oct 9
When will Labor wake up to Albanese and Chalmers?
They have proven themselves to be liars and hopeless economic managers.
Oct 9
Labor MPs are feigning concern over its own shortsighted decision on credit card surcharges.
Now it seems they`ve forgotten they are in government.
Oct 8
Every day Labor finds another way to make life harder for small businesses and Australians who are trying to get ahead.

The High Court decision is a direct threat to jobs in the Hunter, future mining investment and Australia’s reputation as a reliable energy exporter.
The ruling means NSW planning authorities may have to consider emissions created overseas when Australian coal is used in countries like Japan, Korea and India.
Emissions should be counted where the coal is used, not blamed on the Australian workers who mine it.
Anthony Albanese and Chris Minns need to act now. Change the law. Stand up for mining jobs, local communities and our economy.

Labor must scrap the ATO credit card ban and it should have done so yesterday.
Oct 8
Labor’s mass migration has failed Australians. This is about taking back control, fixing the economy and protecting our way of life.
Oct 8
Small businesses are now being required to absorb card-processing costs rather than separately surcharge customers, yet the ATO has decided it will stop accepting credit cards rather than absorb its own credit-card costs. It`s just not fair.
