| Message | However, why not push it up to this level, "There shall be a minimum wage at a level that a full time worker on it can support a family of four without falling under the poverty line."? |

| Message | As with any significant economic change there will be adjustments to be made. We would prefer to introduce this at a moderate level initially and observe the impact on the economy. Once the minimum wage has been generally accepted it can be raised gradually if that seems appropriate. |

| Message | The Government must provide incentives for people to go out and get a job. If the wage doesn't cover what that person needs, then they are just going to become a burden on the state. That's why we support this measure. |
