One of the reasons we want a regulatory impact statement is that we need to understand the direct consequence of this legislation on those people it's designed to impact. We have a current situation where the minister doesn't want to engage with small business or do a regulatory impact statement. And, even worse, when she's asked how many small businesses in this country are going to be affected, she cannot answer the simple question. It's a simple expectation. You've got legislation. You're trying to effect change. You're claiming it's positive, so tell me how many small businesses in this nation these laws will have an effect on.
