One industry leader said Labor was “crab-walking” away from Anthony Albanese's 5.1 per cent figure after shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers added a caveat to the leader’s support. auspol AusVotes2022

for supporting the wage increase and stepped up his attack on Labor’s economic management, as the prime minister tries to claw back support in the final 10 days of the campaign.

“We haven’t determined a final position on how we make our views known,” he said on ABC TV on Wednesday afternoon.Credit:“We have made it clear for some time that we don’t want people to go backwards – that’s been the position that we would put formally, informally,” he said. Morrison called Albanese “incredibly reckless” but was challenged on whether the government wanted salaries to fall in real terms.

Asked whether the government would make a submission to the commission to suggest any increase in the minimum wage, Morrison said: “No, as you know, that’s never been our government’s policy.”

How can the ABC ad here on Twitter say it’s an unbiased group when you make comments like this?

Why is everyone so dumb? Like... Come on, is this the best the media can do? Labor don't control this, the independent body does Labor just says what they think it should be, it isn't up to them

Keep trying.

A business that can't afford to pay people $21 an hour probably isn't viable. To be clear, Scott Morrison is arguing against people being able to feed their families and pay their living expenses.

If there’s a critic of anALP policy, will hunt them down and give them a voice…but the actual govt doesn’t have to be held to account for the multiple deficits it has delivered, the shocking waste and the corruption ThisIsNotJournalism PartisanAlways

deleting then regurgitating a tweet from yesterday because it got no traction? we see you.

The AGE is now a source of embarrassment.
