Opposition leader Peter Dutton has promised to increase the instant asset write-off threshold to $30,000 and make the measure permanent for small business.

In his third budget reply speech last night, the leader emphasised his experiences as a small business owner to spruik his credentials to serve the sector.

“The budget handed down on Tuesday is one of the most irresponsible I’ve seen,” he said.

“Our economic plan – with its tried and tested principles – will restore competitiveness and rebuild economic confidence.”

Claiming that the Coalition genuinely understands small business, Dutton described Australia’s 2.5 million small businesses as the “lifeblood of our communities”.
