Defence needs $4.1bn for missiles? ✅
Defence needs $368bn for subs? ✅

Increase JobSeeker, lift people out of poverty? ❌
Pay rise for care workers? ❌
Building new public housing? ❌
It doesn't make sense to us either.

Business Council Pres on #730 arguing against new multi employer bargaining changes saying wages must be based on productivity. Ignoring the facts that show business is not sharing productivity growth with workers
"The wages crisis will not be fixed unless workers have a modern collective bargaining system that gives them the ability to win fair pay rises"
