"The economy has experienced 17 years of consecutive growth in which small and medium businesses have played a critical role in economic growth and job creation.  However, there are dark clouds appearing on the horizon and it's critical that the business community has a firm knowledge of what the Government is doing to keep the economic ship steady.

The Budget has delivered a $21 billion surplus, reined in expenditure growth, introduced new endowments for infrastructure, health and education and takes a swing at breaking the back of inflation."
