Shame about the means test of $10k in savings. Sole Traders are really struggling to pay staff and bills, let alone live when they can’t open due to isolation & there is no Gov support.

Following the GFC it took a few years until small business insolvency numbers peaked. Owners held on hoping for a silver lining. Will this repeat following Covid? One thing for certain, small business owners are weary sbdh.org.au ph1800413828 abc.net.au/radio/programs…
It’s not only the 100’s of millions of $$ lost each year in Australia to SCAMS it’s the damage to mental health, loss of homes & breakdown of family relationships that costs #scamsweek21 @FCAupdate
