MINNS LABOR GOVERNMENT FAILS TO DELIVER CERTAINTY TO MID NORTH COAST BUSINESSES
The Minister for Recovery has continued to string along flood impacted businesses on the Mid North Coast at Budget Estimates today.
Shadow Minister for Disaster Recovery Tanya Thompson said the Minister continued to take businesses for a ride over the $50,000 Recovery Grants for Small Businesses that have never materialised.
“Week on week we are hearing stories from business owners in their darkest hours continuing to be left without support as the Minns Labor Government neglects their duty to the Mid North Coast,” said Mrs Thompson.
“For the Minister to say an increase to the grants is still ‘a question of what’s needed’ after nine months of struggle is abhorrent.
“The Minister has seen the devastation firsthand, yet the Minns Labor Government continues to taunt business owners who are asking for certainty as they attempt to rebuild and recover.”
“Once again, I am calling on the Minister and this Government to be honest with the businesses of the Mid North Coast and make clear once and for all if and when this support is coming.”
