SUPPORT FOR BUSINESS
I know that business owners are facing unique challenges with cost-of-living pressures, decreasing profit margins, increased rents and running costs.
My Priorities
Simplify award rates to reduce business red tape
Support for decarbonising industries
Expanded instant asset write-off for small businesses
Tax reform to shift the tax burden from personal to passive income
Getting Things Done
As your Curtin Independent MP, I’m proud to have helped deliver results for our community.
Supported Stage 3 tax cuts for fairer income taxes
Opposed increased superannuation tax on unrealised gains
Introduced amendments to limit union powers in the workplace
Extended instant asset write-off for small businesses
One of my priorities in Curtin is to expand the range of support for small businesses in Curtin. There is independent and confidential support available, to help you navigate challenges and build business resilience as well as some grants ad concessions. We have developed a free Support for Small Business Guide here.
Industrial Relations
I am 100% supportive of workers’ rights, and I believe every worker has the right to be in a safe workplace that provides fair remuneration and support.
But I am also supportive of economic competition and the need for business to have the flexibility to innovate and grow and make hiring decisions that enable this. I am genuinely concerned about the increasing complexity of IR laws and how that affects business. IR laws should be simplified as much as possible to help employers do the right thing.
I did not support the Governments industrial relations Closing the Loopholes bill because it appeared to expand the powers of the Fair Work Commission and the unions and reduce flexibility for workers whilst adding complexity for business.
