Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell says the Small Business Fair Dismissal Code is "ambiguous and open to interpretation". She adds that small businesses would be in a better position to comply with the code if ambiguous language were removed. Carnell has also argued the case for the Fair Work Commission to establish a small business division, although she now favours reviewing the maximum compensation for unfair dismissal after a revised code has been operating for at least 12 months.

National Australia Bank’s Angela Mentis has suggested to the Federal Government that it could reduce red tape for small businesses by scrapping business activity statements. This is one of the recommendations that Mentis has made to the Minister for Small Business, Bruce Bilson. She argues that technology solutions could be used to assist small business owners to compile data for the monthly statements
