The federal government is the only one helping small business survive. Dan Andrews business help packages aren't going to small businesses. After trying to get some of the grants he say's will go to all businesses i have found that many are missing out. There are too many hoops to get through to get one.i.e. Must be registered for g.s.t Must e registered with work cover Must employ someone. This means any small business that provides services which is usually a sole trader Doesn't qualify. Think hairdressers, lawn mowing, home maintenance whatever. But would also include plumbers, electricians delivery drivers etc because when you work for yourself you are unlikely to have work cover on yourself. It seems some businesses that have had no impact are getting $20k plus. He is a joke. We are all in this together, yeah right.
