Minimum Wage Increase Proposal
The Prime Minister is expected to support raising the minimum wage, which could positively impact approximately 3 million workers in Australia. This proposed increase involves adjusting wages in line with inflation for award and minimum wage workers, marking a significant shift in the government's previous stance on wage submissions. Currently set at $24.10 per hour, the national minimum wage has not kept pace with rising living costs, prompting the desire for a fairer wage structure. This recommendation, while non-binding, signifies a potential direction for future wage policy in the country.
