Federal budget exposes an ‘ongoing wages crisis’

Australian Council of Trade Unions President Michele O'Neil says the federal budget unveiled on Tuesday evening has exposed an “ongoing wages crisis”. “The budget makes really clear there’s some initial good measures to deal with cost-of-living increases,” she told Sky News Australia. “But the real thing it exposes of course is that we’ve got an ongoing wages crisis and we need more action to get wages moving again.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
