Economist Alan Moran told Sky News Host Chris Kenny employees are being underpaid by large companies due to “the complexity of the regulatory environment”.

Mr Moran suggested that the “complexity” surrounding “wage determination” and the difficulties “associated with the very high minimum wages” enforced in Australia have “created these problems”. “Wage determination [in Australia] is far more complex than in other countries and we have 120 different awards in this industry,” he said.

Mr Moran said it was “deliciously ironic” that the ABC and other virtue signallers of the world had been caught up in these scandals and suggested the underpayment of employees was in most cases “inadvertent”. “Firms have software packages which prevent them underpaying people but its obviously difficult to manage in certain cases”. According to Mr Moran “we have established such a fantastically complex system that no one knows what the rates should be at any one time”.

No you idiot it greed and profits that are supported by ScottyfromMarketing through his dismantling of workers rights.

This man wouldn’t make an economist ass

From the libtards

I should have just tweeted this earlier Q: If Coles has 3 apples and needs to share the apples with 2 other friends (employees) how many apples does each friend get? A:Only Coles gets all 3 apples and tells the others 'Oops!Was never really good at maths' stolenwages theft

You mean supply and demand..quality of service and products versus market volatility versus stock market realism and end results of poor assumptions..does play a small part in deciding day to day wages,prices standards of quality of service..and health!

This is utter rubbish! There is no other area of business where wilful ignorance is a defence. Anyone who has studied IR can read an Award. Coles & Woollies managers’ complained years ago that they were being underpaid. They wilfully misinterpreted the annualised salary clause.

AlanMoran was the architect of the Victorian liberal & national party energy privatisation con His level lunacy was even to much for the IPA to stomach, who in turn ripped up his membership & gave him the boot That alone is Quite an achievement Worse when he hits the pins

So complex its never overpayment

It’s all about hitting us in the eye with the branding, over and over.
