Weekend Wrap 31st July 2022: Albo announces Voice question, grim economic outlook inspires rapid Labor agenda and rebalancing workplace power

Ben Davison looks at Prime Minister Albanese's Insiders interview
from Garma where he outlined his plan for the constitutional
referendum and the enshrinement of the indigenous Voice to
parliament.


How the Voice comes into being will depend on winning the
referendum and Ben analyses the approach Albo is taking to make
sure he wins the debate.


The 1st week of the 47th parliament saw a flurry of
legislation.  Ben examines why aged care reforms, emission
reduction targets scrapping the cashless debit card and childcare
are both good social policy but will also improve productivity
and lift participation.


The state of Australia's economy is a shambles after a decade of
coalition mismanagement that has seen record corporate profits,
record wage cuts, misuse of government funds and huge skills
gaps.  Dutton's response?  To attack unions, attack
workers, dismiss government policy and reject the invitation to
Garma.


Along with the policies before the parliament Ben discusses why
the Jobs and Skills summit must rebalance the power in our
economy to lift wages before 2024.
