I thank Senator Ananda-Rajah for the question. She is a very strong advocate for small businesses both in her state and around the country. We have in this budget recognised with a significant investment package the importance of small business and the way that the tax system can work to support them to invest, manage cash flow and build capability, with $3½ billion in tax support measures. In addition to that, we have the $25 million in round 3 of the Digital Solutions program, which is helping small business adopt digital tools, grow online and stay secure. More than 15½ thousand small businesses have already benefited from this program, receiving over 33,000 hours of coaching and participating in more than 1,700 workshops. Digital capability is an issue that a lot of small businesses in Canberra raise with me, and so this is a really important program that is helping small businesses.
