Show Notes
The federal government is advocating for a wage increase for Australias low-paid workers, who earn the current minimum wage of $948 per full-time fortnight. With inflation rising to 3.7% and potentially reaching 5% by mid-year, these workers, who make up one in five of the workforce, are facing financial strain. The Fair Work Commission is reviewing submissions to decide on wage rates starting July 1st, with the government pushing for a real boost without causing inflation to spiral.
