The issue of business support in countries where liberal governments are leading is a burning issue for businessmen and stakeholders, as their incomes and general business strategies depend on the actions which governments perform and on the support of business by the government. This essay will examine the support of business interests by the Liberal Party of Australia, emphasizing that the general actions performed by the heads of this party should be analyzed through the observation of their adequacy and effectiveness. The paper will look at the actions and conclusions, made by different governments and bodies headed by the representatives of the Liberal Party, and the adequacy of these actions will be regarded in the context of support of business interests. The fact is that liberal governments have often had to restrict business rights for adequate business regulation. During John Howard’s leadership, the party was particularly interventionist in its financial and business policy regulations, as it maintained Australia’s high tariff levels. Firstly, it should be stated that the main principle of governmental activity of the Australian (and not only Australian) liberal movement is to have a considerable influence over the national economy and government’s economic policies. Nevertheless, it should be stated that all the actions, which Liberal Party undertakes, are essentially conservative from the social point of view, consequently, small business is not thoroughly supported. On the one hand, the taxation issues are easier to regulate, on the other hand, these actions can not be regarded as adequate measures of business regulation. As Wright (2007, p.51) emphasizes: “The general principles espoused by the Liberal Party in its platform include: free enterprise, support for the business community, individual choice, reward for individual effort, federalism, smaller government, defense, the family, and a limited welfare safety net.” In light of this fact, it should be emphasized that business regulation is generally regarded to be the prerogative of governmental sector, while private business is not regarded to be the important sphere for the Liberal Party. As for the matters of small business regulation and support, it should be stated that most of these issues were essentially debated by the legislative council. Originally, it is stated (Moran, 2008, p. 380) that the Minister of Small Business failed to represent the interests of the small business sector within the government, and, the liberal government also failed to establish and implement an effective policy platform to advance the small business sector. On the one hand it may be explained by the fact that liberals do not extensively support small business, as, according to liberal policies and regulations, small business distracts attention from more important economic spheres. Consequently, Small Business Ministry is not seriously interested in developing this sector. The business confidence of the small business policies are regarded to be the worst developed in the sphere of Victorian and West Australian state governments. Moran (2008, p. 364) states the following notion on this consideration: “…I expressed concerns about the Bracks Government’s (Steve Bracks is the 44th Premier of Victoria, holding the position for eight years, from 1999 to 2
