Sole trader confidence in the government's slipped after the announcement of the fortnightly $20 tax credit. 

Accountancy service Hnry's most recent report reveals 44% think they'll be worse off with the government's promises. 

They've come up with six policies they would support instead, such as lower tax rates for high demand professions. 

CEO James Fuller says sole traders aren't looking for handouts. 

He says sole traders just want to be heard and recognised as there's 400,000 of them and they don't seem to have the ear of the Government like big business does.
