Today, 8000 minimum wage workers in Canberra will get a pay cut of $541 per year while Scott Morrison gets a pay rise of $11,000 per year.

Just shows what he's all about.

Without unions, worker pay and benefits would plummet.

Stage three of the government's tax package provides a windfall for high income earners, is unfunded and will increase inequality, an independent report shows. https://t.co/JaWlEE6ken

The former Labor minister Martin Ferguson is once again promoting @LiberalAus policy on tax cuts. He is a highly paid mouthpiece for the business sector who has forgotten where he came from! Never thought much of him, even less now.

.@PeterDutton_MP, having been through a divorce I can most certainly assure you that you have a substantial personal financial interest in your wife's business. To pretend otherwise is insulting to our collective intelligence. #auspol

We stand with our hospitality and retail comrades against #penaltyrates being cut again and again while politicians are getting a huge raise. This isn't fair and it isn't right. #ausunions

Wealthy retirees are evidently feeling empowered to demand that the economic interests of the rest of Australia be further put aside to serve them. https://t.co/eWthoPQDRA

"Unlike the government, the Reserve Bank remains focused on the national interest, rather than serving vested interests like wealthy retirees who already benefit from a generous tax system." https://t.co/eWthoPQDRA

[Unions 4 Workers @unions4workers]

Unions are attacked because they strengthen workers’ earning power.

Here we are, a fresh team. A team that is hungry, committed, united. @ScottMorrisonMP , under your Government's @auspost , 2900 Postal Franchisees don't have holidays, sick pay, Super & work 60+ hours a week, for as little as $5 per hour! FAIR GO? #auspol
