A frustrated small business owner, crushed with regulatory burdens and having to close his business, has lashed out out Julia Gillard, whilst she took a stroll through a shopping centre in the marginal electorate of Eden-Monaro yesterday.

The man, a tobacconist, said he was being ruined by Labor's high-taxing, high-regulating regime. "This Government has shut down family businesses," he said as he was forcibly removed by Gillard's security detail.
