Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will this morning declare “the next election will be a referendum on wages”.Mr Shorten will say in the speech “when leaders dismiss the aspirations of ordinary people as ‘envy’ or resentment or trying to drag others down – that only makes things worse”.
The Labor Leader says the election “will be a contest about who the economy should work for, whose interests the system should serve.” “Our wages system, our remuneration system needs to be renovated to prepare our workforce for an economy that will change as much in the next twenty years as it has in the last hundred years.“And fixing it is going to require us to return to what has served Australia best: co-operation,” Mr Shorten will argue.

billshortenmp Sounds like another statement a union delegate would make. What's he going to do, introduce a law for mandatory pay rises?
