Ben Davison is BACK from a week off with the latest Weekend Wrap. Insiders discussed productivity, taxes, industrial relations and education with most of the debates missing the point.
Ben breaks down how the points raised on Insiders show we need full funding for public schools, Qantas demonstrates the need for both workplace reforms and a focus on capital productivity and that if we want more skilled migrants following the lead of Belize and Somalia probably isn't the solution.
The union movement is working for better job security, higher wages and safer workplaces for all so join your union at australianunions.org.au/wow
The intergenerational report shows a changing Australia will continue to change but that there are some clear policy priorities around workforce participation, supporting superannuation and accepting higher levels of debt (which will still be lower than most countries have now) if we want to have the standard of living we have now.
Finally Ben discusses Dutton's latest attack on democracy. The sad swipe on behalf of the No case against the Australia Electoral Commission. Dutton continues to show himself to be either ignorant or lazy when it comes to doing the job of opposition leader.
