Just heard on GayBC Radio that Unions demand a 6% pay rise for workers. Would it not be more sensible to have a 6% pay cut for high Government bureaucrat earners who get paid criminally far too much already with regard to usefulness & benefit to Australian society !
Bringing costs down improves economics due to competitiveness, not increased cost.
I was a blue collar worker & yes a bit more was always welcome however, I always failed to see the benefits because pay rises invariably bring about increased expenses.

Ask your federal MP if he or she would be interested in taking a 6% pay cut.
