They thought you were being candid with them when you said no GST, never ever. I must say I don t see anything wrong with people changing their mind. I mean, if you change your mind after you ve won an election on the strength of the earlier statement and you implement something you said you wouldn t do without going back to the people that is being duplicitous. You can t be more transparent than that. Many of those people are small business owners not battling to complete that paperwork associated with the GST and you know there s terrific problems there.
Some people complain, others say they don t understand what the fuss is all about.
But to be fair others have said the opposite we are looking at it very closely. Yes, but they have also indicated that they are going to be fairly reasonable and understanding and accommodating in relation to this form that is due in on the 5th of February. Well the submission rate in relation to the first requirement was very high, very high indeed. So let s wait and see until the date has come and gone. Well I ve always said that we would be willing to fine tune the implementation.
