We've released new research today by Greg Jericho & Jim Stanford on the irrelevance of minimum wages to inflation. See our full report: futurework.org.au/report/the-irr…. It shows the Fair Work Commission can boost minimum & Award wages by 5-10% this year, with no risk to inflation. /2

We need a strong increase to repair the remaining damage to real minimum and Award wages after initial post-Covid inflation, and also to restore the long-run trend of gradual increases in real wages for low-wage workers. /3
