Thank you, Mr President. Through the clean energy package, there will be a trebling in the tax-free threshold which will assist small business to pay PAYG. If Senator Joyce wants to do something for small business, what about tax cuts, how about the depreciation allowance or how about they actually support the manufacturing programs in the auto industry that we have put in place? How about you support that, because not only will workers directly benefit but all those automotive small businesses will also benefit? But guess what—Mr Abbott has already ruled it out. You have walked away from small business—the Liberal Party has, the National Party has. Do not even pretend. (Time expired)
