After months of silence from members opposite about what the policy of the Labor Party was on anything, we have finally had a thought bubble from the Leader of the Opposition. If this is the best that Labor can come up with, we all know why they've been so quiet up until now.
Labor's one idea is to cut the pay of 2.3 million Australian workers by 25 per cent. If you're one of the one million casual workers in this country, Labor and their union mates will take away your casual loading and replace it with entitlements like long service leave, whether you like it or not. Never mind that many of these workers organise their lives to benefit from flexible hours and rely on the higher hourly pay that casual work delivers in order to make ends meet.
