Weekend Wrap 13 November 2022: Ben updates on mid terms, Victorian election, Secure Jobs, Better Pay laws and Van’s mum

Ben Davison gives a brief update on the situation with Van and
her Mum, thanking all The Week on Wednesday listeners for their
support and solidarity.


With Biden's Democrats set to retain the senate and pushing the
house elections to the wire its been a good week for
democracy.  


Ben also takes a look at the debate on the Albanese Government’s
Secure Work, Better Pay laws.  Apparently some people on
Insiders and on the cross bench thought "get wages moving again"
was rhetoric not a promise to Australian's to get wage moving
again. Ben encourages people to send a message to their senator
at
www.australianunions.org.au/email-your-mp/take-action-send-your-senator-a-message/
and join their union at australianunions.org.au/wow if you want
to make sure wages get moving again.


While Van and Ben have been in Sydney the Victorian election has
been heating up and Ben looks at Matthew Guy's new promises to
bring back fracking and to take policy advice from the IPA.


There's a special big thank you to all our
www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday supporters who've stuck with
us while we take care of our family.  Hope we can get
another podcast out soon!
