Over the past five years there has been a 30 percent increase in taxes and charges for businesses due to Queensland’s overbearing regulations which have slugged $7 billion from the economy. Not only is it hurting the economy, it’s time-wasting paperwork that drives up the costs for consumers.
The LNP knows that Queenslanders would rather get on with doing business than having to waste time and money on paperwork, which is why I’m asking, on a local level, for you to nominate the red tape you dislike the most.
Together with Leader Campbell Newman and the LNP, I would like feedback from local small businesses, employers, property owners and farmers. With the next Government set to inherit Labor’s $85 million dollar debt we are targeting red tape now that can be easily removed at either no or low cost.
We are committed to reducing red tape and to get Queensland back on track. Please share your thoughts on what red tape needs to go and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same.
