Angus Taylor is now blowing a heck of a lot of kisses to big business and it really just highlights how divorced this room and debate is from voters.

The underlying pretence is that making businesses more profitable through lower taxes, weaker IR laws will result in a better economy.

When you think the economy is profits it’s very easy to produce a strong “economy” Is that a fair one? Is that one with decent services for all people? Is that one with low levels of poverty?

None of these questions are being asked.

It’s an echo chamber debate held for business owners who think they are the only thing that matters in the economy.

It’s quite gross.
