You say "Prior to Work Choices, unfair dismissal laws were the norm and it did not lead to less employment in the small business sector, in fact there was an increase in recruitment."
I seem to recall that when work choices was introduced, there was a large swing from casual employees to full time employees.
My interpretation of this would be that small businesses felt less threatened.
The recession and new IR laws will give small businesses the reason and excuse to purge their ranks of many full time employees which regulators will find difficult to police.
