"Certainly not transformational": National's small business plan is a 'fair bit of talk' - expert

National's small business plan is being seen as practical, but not transformational. 

The party's released a 47 point plan to cut red tape for small businesses, which it would implement if re-elected.  

It features tweaks to non-trade barriers, employment relations, health and safety, and a review of the compulsory GST registration threshold. 

ABC Business Sales Managing Director Chris Small told Mike Hosking that yes, it will help, but it's not particularly transformational or material when you think of being a business owner.  

He says the idea is good and they're showing they have a soft spot for small businesses, but they could've put a bit more meat on the bone.
