I don't believe in the trickle-down theory. I support free education, fair wages, adequate welfare, progressive taxation and strategic public ownership.
@TroyPSimpson@43a6f0ce5dac4ea But the voters are being duped since LNP have an interest in maintaining a sizeable pool of unemployed: (a) lower wages and (b) continuing to promise more jobs.
@Thagliou@imMohammadZee@Larryjamieson_ Only in the short term. Goods invoiced in AUD will be unaffected if the contract is already in place. But subsequent contracts will be dearer.
