Today we launch #StandUpFor17 - calling for a 17% wage increase for the lowest paid in the West End. With fuel & travel costs increasing, and inflation at a 40-year high, it is vital that our members have the means to keep afloat. Will you #StandUpFor17?

@zarahsultana What! Crazy sums for public workers. If they want that type of increase, we the taxpayers need to demand public workers huge pension contributions reflect private sector contributions. Greedy.

@zarahsultana Hi Anne, this claim doesn't come from a place of greed! Before October pay was frozen so workers lost out on between £3k & £5k on average. Actors & stage management faced DIRE financial harship during the pandemic as theatres were closed & they coudn't earn money.

And what about the Equity Fringe Agreement? The minimum rate on that is nearly half the West End rate.

Be sincere with your costumer

Yesterday’s increase in Interest rates is not going to do anything to fix the underlying structural imbalances in our economy. It is not going to help build one oil refinery or find a new discovery oil. The reason we have persistent inflation in Australia is because our government is running high immigration, high spending programs alongside chronic underinvestment in infrastructure and manufacturing after decades of privatisation. It is completely absurd that the Australian people are now going to be punished with higher interest rates alongside higher fuel costs. The higher fuel costs is in-itself going to dampen demand by increasing the cost of living so why pour fuel on the fire by increasing the cost of living even more. We are in this mess because of government spending not because Australians are spending too much just to survive. Manipulating interest rates is only dealing with the symptom not the cause. Notwithstanding we can’t solve inflation in the next 30 days, Australia needs to start building more infrastructure and factories and training our children the trades needed to do it. This will increase the supply of essential goods to bring inflation down. People First is the only party with the policies that will do this. We will create an infrastructure bank to fund the infrastructure free from foreign debt and we will bring back the military apprenticeship scheme to train our children how to build and maintain the infrastructure and manufacturing plants.
