The Queensland Labor Party is fearing a bad result in one of two Brisbane by-elections today could foreshadow the end of the Miles government in October’s state poll. Voters in Queensland’s southeast will head to the polls on Saturday for two by-elections – Inala and Ipswich West.

Mr Hayes joined Sky News Australia presenter Ortenzia Borre to discuss the benefits and empowerment of a properly funded workforce. “It is a great outcome for the vast majority of workers in health who are women,” he said. “It is really important we note at the moment that the average superannuation balance for women working in Aged Care is $18,000. “So having a wage increase between 18 and 28 per cent brings them into a competitive market with health facilities across the country.”

The Prime Minister has backed Fair Work's decision despite concerns the decision could lead to higher inflation. Economists warn the $3 billion injection could place wage pressures on other sectors.

The biggest names in South Australian business and politics have come together to discuss the state’s economic opportunities with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at The Advertiser's Future SA forum.
