EMA responds to government's policy refocus

From Checkpoint, 5:39 pm on 8 February 2023

Returning now to the government's policy refocus. Several policies have been thrown on the scrap heap - or kicked into the long grass to revisit later. Instead the focus is going into the cost of living - and as a result of that, the miminum wage will go up $1.50 an hour in April. That will take it to $22.70. Alan McDonald is head of advocacy and strategy at the EMA. He talks to Lisa Owen.
