Tourism Minister Michelle O’Byrne has today confirmed she has done – and will do – nothing to help ease the massive increases in land tax tourism and hospitality operators are now facing.

Tourism and hospitality operators say that these hikes will cost jobs.

Yet all the Minister can do is mouth platitudes.

Michelle O’Byrne might have a new letterhead, but it clearly means nothing when it comes to fighting for small businesses within the hospitality and tourism sector.

Only the Liberals have a plan to cut land-tax and ease the burden.
