Spoiling The Party

Unfortunately, as we approach Christmas there are two serious challenges our members face:

  • There is an attack on penalty rates of workers in the retail, fast food and hospitality industries. New Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has joined in this attack on penalty rates.
  • There are proposals being floated to extend the goods and services tax to food, health and education and increase it across the board from 10% to 15%.

Both of these proposals would be disastrous for our members. They would hit the wages of low-income workers much harder than high-income workers.

The SDA is opposed to both of these proposals which attack the living standards of our members.
