Alan Tudge, The Federal Member for Aston, the electorate covering one of my newsagencies has responded on the EFTPOS issue.
I appreciate how this can affect a small business like yours in a significant way. I do not know if there is anything that the government can do about it if the company is actually legally. There may be ACCC issues or other issues that I have not considered. I will approach both the Minister and Shadow Minister in relation to your concerns and seek their action on it.
The more newsagents who engage on this issue the greater the chance of it getting the necessary attention to affect change. Have you written to your local member of parliament?
My Federal member Martin Ferguson has passed on my concerns to Wayne Swan, and i would urge everyone to contact their Fedral Memeber immediately !
