Australia needs to raise the minimum wage for women's economic security
The Greens have welcomed the updated Economic Security for Women’s White Paper, and called on the government raise the minimum wage to address women’s financial inequality.
Greens Senate Leader and spokesperson on Women, Senator Larissa Waters, said:
“It’s 2020: women want fair pay, not granite bench tops.
“Raising the minimum wage will help those working some of the lowest paid professions, such as health care, childcare, and aged care.
