My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his new tax on canteen meal cards. Is the Treasurer aware that the Chop Chop sandwich shop in Sydney, for example, estimates that it will lose $200 a day in sales as a result of this new tax? Treasurer, how many other small businesses will be injured by this new tax? When the Treasurer boasts, ‘This is a budget for working families,’ does the Treasurer exclude family businesses and their employees?
