As a small-business owner, the red tape and the taxes consistently piled upon us add costs that many of us cannot afford. Two years ago, I read a statistic in the Air New Zealand magazine, which has stuck with me: 97 percent of businesses in New Zealand are small businesses, of up to 20 employees. That's a total of just over 515,000 businesses, generating 28 percent of GDP, and employing around 631,200 people. I am happy to be the voice, with my ACT caucus here in Parliament, to ask questions on behalf of these business people. One thing I would ask this Government to do is please listen to what New Zealand business people have to say. They know best what needs to be done to help them to make New Zealand prosperous in this COVID time.
