The 2018 election has unofficially kicked off, via The Guardian:
Labor has left the door open to pegging the minimum wage to median earnings, which one labour market expert said could result in increases of $80 a week for low-paid workers.
The shadow employment minister, Brendan O’Connor, told Sky News on Wednesday that legislating the minimum wage be pegged to a certain proportion of the median wage was one option Labor was “looking at”, but that the party would fully spell out how to fix wages before the election.
