    "Lukewarm" support for the government, from the countries small and medium sized businesses

    "Lukewarm" support for the government, from the countries small and medium sized businesses


    That's the findings of a recent MYOB survey, where local enterprises gave the government a median score of 6 out of 10 for its performance since the election last year.

    But MYOB's Anna-Louise Hoffmann says the support is a marked improvement on this time last year.

    She says in 2023, 64 percent of S-M-E decision makers were dissatisfied with the Labour-led government.
