Business Council of Australia also calls for migrant intake boost as Greens set up Senate standoff to raise wages in female-dominated industries

but it wants this to come hand-in-hand with wages increases, including lifting the pay floor for temporary skilled migrants from $53,000 to $91,000.

Labor has signalled it is open to the unions’ call for pay deals to cover more than one employer, but may soon be outflanked on the left by the Greens, who want a more direct role for government in wage setting. Bandt, who has accepted an invitation to the summit and will appear with the party’s employment spokesperson, Barbara Pocock, said the Greens wanted to see a “greater role for government in setting wages across the board” through the Fair Work Act, especially women-dominated industries.
