Now employers are saying minimum wage workers should not earn enough to pay $3.94/day for lunch or to afford to rent in big cities. Albanese supports a real wage rise for these workers, Peter Dutton does not.

“Peter Dutton sat in that (chaotic coalition) cabinet room for the entire time of 3 different PM’s… & he didn’t once sit there & think to himself..”gee, why haven’t we got a housing minister”?”

Half of the 9-yr coalition tenure- they didn’t have a housing minister😱

Truth.

Don't want my last words to be "Et tu, Medvedev".

Well said, Rick
The 'no cuts to frontline services' shibboleth is such a furphy. When Dutton says he wants to cut (or let wither) 36,000 jobs from the public service, everything is affected. The response post ex-cyclone Alfred proves how vital the work of the APS is www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/environ...
Cyclone Alfred and the real cost of Dutton’s public service cuts
The involvement of the public service in the aftermath of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred underscores the reality of the Coalition’s promise to cut 36,000 people from government departments.
