If only we had proper resource extraction taxes - then our governments would easily be able to afford the required wage increases.
But alas, allowing massive wealth concentration while our resources get stripped away is just too attractive once kickbacks and favours are taken into account.

From what my friends in ABC, MEAA and CPSU have told me, they can easily afford it. Their funds got restored under Labor as well.
You’re absolutely right that Australia-extraction is an absolute shocker, although we can’t pretend it’s a good excuse for this problem.
