THATCHER BRAINWASH posted:Imagine thinking "this is a bad idea" and still being able to look in the mirror at yourself and not be like WELP I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON SEE YOU LATER. rofl yeah let's just base all decisions on emotions, that's sound Minimum wage in Australia is like $16 an hour, that's $16 AUD not loving $15 USD. Lower costs of living (healthcare, housing, education but make sure they are actually decent) and then you wouldn't need some arbitrarily high wage rate that will gut small to medium businesses.

Your question implies you think it should always rise, even above CPI. Also, such a massive leap in wages is risky.

I don't see how communists think that this is a better idea than redistribution from the wealthy?

Someone mentioned raising the min wage to median? I can't imagine the chaos that would erupt if that happened in Australia.
