Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says Labor is “hypnotised” by big business as the carbon scheme is a tax on anyone who wears “bright coloured clothing” to work.
“The Business Council of Australia I think have got a lot of things wrong lately, the Labor party seems very enamoured with big business, they seem somewhat hypnotised,” Mr Canavan told Sky News Australia.
“This is a tax that’s going to hit every Australian – it’s effectively a tax on anyone who has to wear bright coloured clothing to work, it’s a tax on our hi-vis industries. “We will keep fighting for small business, we’ll keep fighting for Australian families who just want a solution to their cost-of-living concerns – this government seems to have no answers for people except these massive new taxes.”

Chalmers ‘advocating’ for ‘regulation and red tape’ on businessesThis year Australians are going to see a lot more of the Albanese Labor government in their 'business”, says Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan. This comes after Treasurer Jim Chalmers vowed to “remake capitalism”. “What he’s advocating for is bigger government, more taxes, more public servants and I think most concerning of all to small business … more regulation, more red tape,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia. “I think it’s a recipe for regulation and red tape, for government and public servants dictating how you will run your small business, not leaving it up to you to do what you can do best, and that’s to generate jobs in this country.”
