The LNP is calling on the Palaszczuk Government to implement a small family business support package as restrictions and lockdown uncertainties continue.

Opposition Leader David Crisafulli says the Government needs to get cracking on delivering this package, because even with the end of lockdown in South-East Queensland, the recovery will take months.

The current lockdown in Cairns is set to have similar negative effects.

Mr Crisafulli says, “The Cairns economy is already on its knees and unless support is mobilised immediately, the lockdown will be the death knell for small and family businesses.”
