I’m in Canberra chairing a Senate committee hearing on our ‘Closing Loopholes’ Bill.
Today we’ve heard compelling and disturbing evidence from gig workers, demonstrating the urgency of passing this legislation.

Overnight another delivery rider was tragically killed on our roads.
Gig transport workers under pressure to work long hours, and under threat of being unfairly sacked from platforms, urgently need minimum standards.

This morning at the inquiry into the 'Closing Loopholes' IR Bill, we heard from gig workers about the conditions they face and the dangers that exist for drivers and riders trying to make ends meet. This driver was very clear about why he supports the proposed changes.

“I have been working as a food delivery driver for 5 years but I don’t know how I’m being paid. I’ve been deactivated for not accepting enough orders. Gig companies say it’s flexible, but flexible for whom?” - @oannbn

Defence needs $4.1bn for missiles? ✅
Defence needs $368bn for subs? ✅
Defence needs public housing? ✅
Increase JobSeeker, lift people out of poverty? ❌
Pay rise for care workers? ❌
Building new public housing? ❌
It doesn't make sense to us either.

Business Council Pres on #730 arguing against new multi employer bargaining changes saying wages must be based on productivity. Ignoring the facts that show business is not sharing productivity growth with workers
