If we stopped that, you wonder what the figures would look like,' she said.\n\nAlmost $40 billion in value was wiped from Australian shares on Thursday raising fears of an economic slowdown that appears to be rippling through global markets.\n\n'I don't think it's doom and gloom across the board,' Ms Panahi said, before adding that 'growth isn't where we'd like it to be'.\n\nFormer Queensland premier Campbell Newman said, 'People in small businesses are seeing low spending and higher rents.'\n\n'There is so much red tape in this country and needlessly, we hold back the economy.'\n\nMs Panahi hinted at cost-of-living pressures being a key driver in lower consumer spending.\n\n\n\n
