Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (15:00): What is a burden on small business is when those opposite vote against an instant asset write-off threshold increase. That is a burden on small business. What is a burden on small business is living in the state of Victoria where the Victorian coalition government have ground the economy to a standstill. What is a burden on small business in this country— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Conroy! Senator Brandis— Senator CONROY: is the Queensland government driving unemployment— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Conroy! Senator Brandis, on a point of order. Senator Brandis: Mr President, on a point of order on direct relevance: the question was about small business in South Australia—nowhere else. I look forward with interest to see how Senator Conroy's creativity can establish how an answer about small business in Victoria is relevant to a question about small business in South Australia. I ask you to draw the minister's attention to the question. The PRESIDENT: The minister has 33 seconds. I do draw the minister's attention to the question. Senator CONROY: Mr President, the instant asset write-off is a national write-off that is absolutely relevant to small businesses in South Australia. What is a burden to those small businesses in South Australia is that those opposite opposed it. An increase to $6,500 was voted against by those opposite. That is a burden on South Australian small businesses. (Time expired) Senator CONROY: Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
