Anthony Albanese once again called for the minimum wage to be raised by a dollar and criticised Scott Morrison over the issue.
On the day of the election, Opposition leader Anthony Albanese has criticised Prime Minister Scott Morrison and implored Australians to vote for a change of government.
Mr Morrison first called Mr Albanese a "loose unit" when he called for wages to rise to match inflation at 5.1 per cent, but later changed his discourse to claim that he welcomed higher wage after pressures over the cost of living."One of the issues in this campaign has been whether people who are on the minimum wage of $20.33 an hour, they should get just one dollar, one dollar an hour increase," Mr Albanese said."This country cannot afford three more years of the same.
Mr Morrison also said that voting for independent candidates, who have become an increasing threat to the Coalition this election, would make the government weaker.Monique Ryan says she's taking legal action as some COVID-positive voters face voting barrier Mr Morrison's Liberal-National government heads into the election holding 75 seats, having lost the WA seat of Stirling in a redistribution.The major parties will need 76 seats for a majority in the lower house.
