Angus’s Coalition has repeatedly said they will scrap wage theft laws, that make deliberate wage theft a crime So while your pay may shrink a little, or quite a lot in real terms, if Angus becomes PM fear not! He will also imprison Australia s for TEN YEARS if we burn the flag!

LGH staff received a memo from DOH last week advising that they will be slugged an extra $500 a year for parking. Staff morale is already low on top of the Govt failing to settle wage negotiations. This is just another kick in the guts to workers. How insulting #politas

Jim Chalmers "We remember your record" He shreds the pathetic Ted O'Brien because everyone remembers the terrible LNP government which was useless with inflation, unemployment and debt. #TemuMorrison #qt

We will always back local businesses and the working Australians who keep them going. That’s why the Albanese Labor Government is giving the Anti-Dumping Commission the tools it needs to tackle sudden import surges that threaten local jobs. This will mean more secure work and stronger local industries.

After weeks of negotiation, Qantas told engineers yesterday that the same deal they already rejected is “back on the table”, demanding the unions endorse it. Fail to accept, and they’ll take away their workforce’s backpay. This is a disgraceful attempt to strongarm the very people who kept Qantas planes flying safely through a pandemic, endured pay freezes, and sacrificed decent wages for over a decade. And while this sort of corporate bullying is cheered by the Liberals & Nationals, we will always stand behind working Australians. No more delays, it's time for fair pay.

Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan to Foreign Minister Sugiono and the people of Indonesia who today mark 80 years of independence. Australia was proud to be one of the earliest supporters of Indonesia’s independence, and to this day we remain the closest of partners and friends.

Today marks four years since Kabul fell to the Taliban. We call on the Albanese government to adopt human policies and provide a safe pathway to permanency to all the people impacted by what’s happening in Afghanistan and living in limbo in Australia.

Today’s @ABSStats data shows annual real wages have grown for 7 straight quarters under the Albanese Labor Government. It’s a reminder that real wages were going backwards under the Liberals & Nationals, but today’s figures show they’re growing strongly again under Labor. Unlike them, we’ll keep fighting for your pay rises so you can earn more and keep more of what you earn.

Shadow Treasurer Ted O’Brien says today’s RBA rate cut is “a vote of no confidence” in the Albanese government. Make of that what you will.
