Prior to the last federal election I commented about the small business policy of the Greens compared to the major parties. I felt the policy of the Greens was better. I still do.
I reconsidered this recently following the federal budget small business initiatives. It is interesting to see what the Greens proposed and what the government has subsequently announced.
For all their attacking of the Greens, the federal government has borrowed heavily from the policy work done by the Greens. I would have like to see the government acknowledge this.
