Episode 84: Morrison promises wage cuts, Labor to reform NDIS, COVID rules changing and good news on solar storage

Van Badham and Ben Davison look at Morrison's promises on
workplace laws and what the real impact will be for working
people. They also give a roundup on the changing COVID rules and
election state of play.


Morrison's campaign continues to take place in workplaces where
workers are being offshored, wages cut, temporary migrants
exploited and former Liberal Minister's chair the board. 
The work of unions in exposing these travesties while also
fighting for better wages, safer workplaces and more secure jobs
might be why Morrison wants to double the fines on unions, it is
certainly why you should join your union

Van and Ben look at how Morrison could put forward policies that
will cut wages by up to $14,000 when wages have already been
going backwards and we are in a cost of living crisis.  They
explore how the cashless debit card, and Morrison ideological
framework for "welfare", combine with his anti-worker agenda to
create the kind of trickle up society he wants for Australia.


Labor has announced their NDIS reform agenda.  Ben shares
the story of GT to demonstrate how broken the NDIS has become for
participants, workers and families.  Van shares her
experiences with the MyAgedCare system. The need for Labor's
changes to get rid of the "cowboys" is highlighted by one foreign
private equity backed "platform" making a 14% margin from NDIS
and Aged Care services!


The good news is about solar power being stored on a microchip
that lasts for up to 18 years!
