Television appearance
I appeared in the 7NEWS report on the Australian Taxation Office’s plan to stop accepting credit card payments, broadcast on 18 October 2026. The report covers the government being accused of leaving businesses in the dark, and the Assistant Treasurer conceding he knew of the plan in July, months before businesses were consulted.
I spoke as a small business owner about the effect on businesses like mine. The report also includes the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Assistant Treasurer.
