The Albanese Labor Government’s landmark Secure Jobs Better Pay workplace reforms – won by union members – have boosted economy-wide wage growth by $6.3 billion over the past year.

If annual wage growth had continued at the same low rate as under the last Coalition government, the average Australian worker’s wages or salary would be $4,700 less today.
Peter Dutton has already committed to turning secure jobs into casual jobs, repealing the right to disconnect and standing against minimum standards for gig workers.
