Petter Dutton and the Coalition kick the can down the road on Same Job Same Pay

9 Nov 2023

BREAKING: Petter Dutton and the Coalition have just voted to delay the Closing the Loopholes Bill in Parliament.

In a motion moved by Shadow Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Michaelia Cash in the Senate today, the Coalition have blocked any early reporting of the Closing Loopholes Senate Inquiry.

With only on hearing left to go, they have also added an additional hearing on 22 January, further delaying the process.

That means it will take longer for Same Job Same Pay to become law.

Peter Dutton is kicking the can down the road for Same Job Same Pay to help out his big business mates.

However, we’ll keep campaigning until the laws pass both houses of Parliament and start lifting wages for labour hire workers.
