I want to talk to the Australian parliament about just how much confidence there is among small businesses across Australia at the moment. The small businesses in my electorate suffered from the bad water management of the previous government, they suffered from the carbon tax, they suffered from the shutdown on live exports. And now they have confidence. They have seen what a strong government can do, with accelerated depreciation, with $20,000 write-offs. We have got the cattle trade open. I want to point out to the Australian people that this is a government I am proud to be part of.
