Small Business Grants

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:16): Supplementary: has the government given any small business assistance to sole traders, self-employed people?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:16): The honourable member has asked the question before in relation to the $10,000 grant, and sole traders are not eligible for the $10,000 grant. That was a question the honourable member asked and had an answer to some weeks ago, so I will just remind her of the question and the answer. But in relation to the more general question, we are providing a range of other levels of assistance which may apply to some sole traders in relation to payroll tax assistance, land tax assistance, the forgiveness of licence fees, for example, and otherwise the waiving of licence fees or the deferral, and in many cases that would apply.

So to the more general question of whether any assistance is provided to some sole traders, the answer would be yes, but in relation to the $10,000 grant scheme, which was the substance of this particular question, I have already answered the honourable member's question on this particular issue some weeks ago. I refer her to the Hansard record.
