Small business owners are feeling the sting of recent federal tax changes, as Minister Steve Minnikin bluntly called them a betrayal of trust during parliamentary budget estimates. While his team was set to champion government support for small and family businesses, the heated debate over capital gains and discretionary trust taxes overshadowed the agenda — especially after a grueling day focused on child safety and domestic violence. The fallout is real: uncertainty looms over business planning, and the minister’s words signal deep concern for families relying on these ventures. As the session winds down with Ann Leahy taking the stage to address local government and disaster recovery, the conversation shifts from economic policy to community safety — highlighting the complex, high-stakes dance between federal decisions and everyday livelihoods.
