Let’s get behind this.
From the Herald Sun yesterday:
Small Business Australia executive director Bill Lang said the state’s pandemic experience was continuing to haunt business owners.
And he called for a clearer vision for driving down debt and improving business opportunities to encourage investment across the state.

Victoria is currently on track to hit a record net debt level of $194bn by 2028-29.
Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Acting Chief Executive Antoinette Truda said the figures were “deeply concerning but sadly not surprising”.
“Victorian businesses are under intense pressure. Soaring costs including high energy prices, compounding state taxes, skills shortages, and regulatory burdens, are pushing many to the brink and these latest figures show that for too many, the breaking point has come,” she said.
“Decisive action is needed to restore confidence and create conditions for growth. We must see businesses relieved of unnecessary costs and regulation, to enable them to invest in people, innovation and productivity.
“The pathway out of this downturn starts with listening to business. We need to support employers to stay open, grow and take on staff.“
