From The Australian:
An influential small business group has delivered a devastating blow to Labor, declaring that the party has “regressed” under Bill Shorten and is now less supportive of small enterprise than the Greens.
To drive home its message, the Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia has decided to target the Melbourne seat of Batman, along with up to eight marginal seats, in a mail-out before the election that will highlight Labor’s anti-business stance to thousands of small businesses.
The move from COSBOA comes as the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry pledges to mobilise its nationwide membership base of 300,000 enterprises and four million workers to promote the economic benefits of corporate tax cuts, and as the Business Council of Australia launches a national advertising campaign in favour of the Coalition’s election platform.
Very obviously I’m all for business in the wider sense but how about these locusts shut up and let the people decide.
