INSANE: Michael pascoe everyone is wrong about a 5 1 per cent minimum wage rise | Vintage Vibes

Don’t let reality get in the way of a political scare campaign days out from an election, writes Michael Pascoe.

No, no, no! Messrs Albanese and Morrison, the ACTU and the Business Council, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Murdoch media, the Australian Industry Group and everyone else are all wrong about a 5.1 per cent increase in the minimum wage matching the inflation rate.

Whether you are on the minimum wage, the median wage or the average wage, a 5.1 per cent wage increase will leave you well behind the consumer price index increase of 5.1 per cent.
