Libs tell big business to fend for itself amid focus on small firms

A Coalition government would, if elected, make sweeping industrial relations changes to ease the burden on small business as part of a dedicated focus on the sector, while leaving corporate Australia to fend for itself, shadow treasurer Tim Wilson says.

In an interview, Wilson echoed the sentiment of former Liberal leader Peter Dutton, saying “big business can take care of itself”, particularly if it is not prepared to dirty its hands in a political fight.
