Weekend Wrap 30 October 2022: Van Badham joins Ben to talk Insiders, budget and workplace law reforms

Van Badham joins Ben Davison to discuss the issues that the
October Budget has highlighted, how Insiders dealt with those
issues and what is really happening with the Secure Jobs, Better
Pay laws.


With 29 of 33 OECD nations in structural deficit the issue of how
we invest in our commonwealth, how we generate revenue from our
productivity and resources and who benefits from that is front
and centre of debate in Australia and around the world.


Ben and Van breakdown the Secure Jobs, Better Pay bill. 
They look at the faux friend big business is pretending to be for
workers and small business on bargaining while also highlighting
some of the less discussed improvements for contract based
workers, people with caring responsibilities and the improved
powers of the umpire to get agreements done.


And there is a shout out for the Australian Unions victory on
paid family violence leave.  It is now law that every worker
can access 10 days paid leave if experiencing family violence and
that comes after more than a decade of campaigning by the union
movement.  So join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow
to help win the secure jobs and better pay that we are
campaigning for now.
