90,000 Australian parents stayed out of the workforce last year because the cost of childcare was too high... For women and families in small businesses, particularly those that are relying on JobKeeper, childcare is unaffordable. #smallbizau mybusiness.com.au/management/796…

Fantastic to be at a real live event celebrating Australian small businesses on Saturday night. A highlight of the night was meeting 11-year-old Angus Copelin-Walters of Croc Candy who took out the Sole Operator category of the #SmallBusinessChampionAwards

The agreed changes to the award are proof that better outcomes for business and workers are possible when parties approach the negotiating table with an open mind. #smallbizau COSBOA

"As part of Carnell’s “fair go” recommendations, the ATO should expand and make permanent the “Small Business Independent Review” process pilot program, which finishes this month." - Robert Gottliebsen #smallbizau theaustralian.com.au/business/compa…

Having played an integral role in the establishment of the Ombudsman’s office, Bruce Billson is well positioned to carry the torch. #smallbizau Bruce Billson

This action taken by the ACCC has resulted in the Federal Court’s judgement that Megasave breached Australian Consumer Law as well as the disqualification of Megasave’s sole director from managing a corporation for five years. #smallbizau

For them the challenge has been they’ve lost JobKeeper because they are not 30 per cent down any more, they’re 20 per cent and 15 per cent down, and that meant that they also lost other support such as the commercial tenancy code. #smallbizau dailytelegraph.com.au/business/numbe…

Great meeting of the Small Business Stewardship Group today. Plenty of #smallbizau issues to talk about!
