Former Labor candidate Sam Crosby says there is a “wage theft crisis in this country”.

“At the 2019 election, Scott Morrison presented his vision for Australia in a simple credo: if you have a go, you'll get a go,” Mr Crosby said. “But for too many workers in Australia, their employers are not living up to this basic bargain”. Mr Crosby said up to $6 billion is “pinched from workers’ back pockets every year” from a minority of “dodgy bosses” and unregulated labour hire businesses.

“It affects hundreds of thousands of Australians and migrant workers, it undercuts every business that does the right thing, paying their staff properly, and it damages our reputation overseas with foreign workers getting ripped off on our shores. “Yet, despite the mountains of evidence of deliberately underpaying a worker, they still aren't punished with criminal sanctions in most of Australia," he said.
