currently before the federal parliament contains election commitments that Australian workers have waited 18 months for, at a time when real wages have gone backwards.
The Senate hearings, not yet completed, have indeed heard from all sides. On one side are working people – nurses, cleaners, teachers, aged care workers, gig workers, Qantas employees – all arguing that this bill is absolutely critical to getting wages moving, closing labour hire loopholes, and offering a modest but important improvement in the lives of casual and insecure workers.
Their ads don’t feature the loopholes used by Qantas to sack 1700 ground staff, then employ others on lower wages and worse conditions. Their ads don’t feature the fact that you can catch a Qantas plane and have flight attendants doing the same jobs on vastly different wages because they are employed by multiple labour hire entities.But it is not just Qantas.
The Closing the Loopholes Bill will restore a level playing field for businesses that have been undercut by perpetual wage thieves, low-paying gig companies and those who can afford expensive lawyers.It is particularly galling to hear the federal opposition leader call for a focus on cost of living but stand with big business to argue against this bill.
