Master stroke by Albo IMO.

Good tactics. It forces Morrison to say that workers don't deserve a pay rise. Makes Morrison look like a Scrooge.

It's already made him look like a bit of a dill. A pay rise for the lowest paid workers isn't going to blow out inflation.

It just stops them from going broke eventually.

If the Govts' paranoia about inflation is high wages then just increase the super guarantee - it's not rocket science.

Anyway.... we now know the ALP is for workers and the LNP is not.... 'twas ever thus

With pay scale parities, if the minimum wage goes up 5%, it should have a knock on effect, to maintain relativity.
The Govt don't have to worry about the super guarantee, as bracket creep takes care of it and any knock on inflation increases the GST take.
So win/win for the government, the unemployed and low income earners feel the effect of the resultant inflation, but that is a spur for them to get a better job.
Starting to remind me of the mid 1970's, which was a great time for the workers, the 1980's when they were trying to fix it, not so good. ?
Nothing wrong with a bit of boom and bust IMO. Usually plenty of opportunities present, for the cashed up investor.
So it a yes from me.

 

[wayneL]

So... Definitely not supporting the Libs by posting this, as you should all know by now that they will be third last on my ballot.

But just kind of of showing the total dirty politics indulged in by the Labor Party (and by the way please post up any incidences of the Liberals doing the same because that would be really interesting too).

I always thought you were Right out there !

Well I think the abc's concept of left and right wing is pretty skewed.

I mean having the most woke, leftist front bench in history of the Labor Party, positioned as centrist, is clearly ridiculous.

Relying on SKY for honest reporting is like relying on Morrison to committing to CO2 reduction.

Not if the right keeps lurching further towards extremism!

Is UAP polling higher this time?

Seems the general population might be a bit more switched on to every parties BS and lies this time round.

Steady at 4% off the last Newspoll... also looks like the teal indies aren't doing too well

All I can say is bloody hell...

Just looked up some of the greens policies. God help us if they get balance of power.

I am truly sorry to have offended your religion Rederob. However the facts here are clear...

They lied.

And I don't feel I need to repeat my early disclaimer, but the libs suck as well.

 

[rederob]

They lied.

You need to show it was no so.
Can you do that?

 

[wayneL]

The video already showed the context of the statements.

Morrison did and said all the things quoted.
It's not the job of an advertiser to explain context.
That's why the media typically chooses images which complement their message rather than draw from the context.

Quite, which is why you have been hoist by your own petard.

At some point you might learn how to substantiate a claim rather than present a baseless claim.
I look forward to that day.
