Star Casino Tax Deferral Raises Concerns Among Small Businesses – As Seen on 9 News

As reported on 9 News, Star Entertainment Group’s tax deferral from the Queensland Government has sparked frustration among small businesses.

While the government steps in to assist large corporations, smaller businesses are left to fend for themselves. At The Coffee Commune, we are pushing for fair policies that benefit everyone, not just large corporations.

Managing Director of the Coffee Commune, Phillip Di Bella, voiced concerns shared by many small business owners: “Government keeps talking about helping small businesses, but it’s all talk. We don’t see it in the execution.” With costs rising and businesses like City Winery closing, it’s clear that local businesses need real, tangible support.

The Coffee Commune remains committed to advocating for small business survival, ensuring they receive the attention and assistance they deserve. We believe in leveling the playing field, so that small businesses can thrive alongside larger corporations. Our advocacy for small business continues—now more than ever.
