Stumped for dinner table conversation this Christmas? Here's a couple of conversation starters from the Labor for Choice team! ๐๐
"If people think they can rip the Australian taxpayer off, if people think that they can con the Australian taxpayer, then I'm sorry, the game's up," Mr Dutton said.

The decision to cut penalty rates is a decision to cut the pay of the lowest paid workers. It is a decision that devalues the sacrifices we make to work on Sunday. It is a decision that tells the poorest in society that their time spent with friends, family, and children is a burden on the economy.
Tomorrow. 1pm. Union Court at the ANU campus. Come and show the government that you won't let them take your weekend without a fight.
