| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is something employee organizations should negotiate with the labour unions, not an area the government should intervene in. Nathan Ru Interior Minister ((OOC: That's seriously a new option needed for that law. Sweden and other Scandinavian countries have no minimum wage for this reason) |

| Message | Mr Speaker, increasing the price of a commodity will lead to a decline in its demand - labor is no exception this general rule of economics. I ask the honorable members to draw attention to the fact that this would hit low-skilled workers the hardest, whose jobs might then be the first to be gutted in order to deal with the higher cost of hiring resulting from the implementation of a minimum wage as proposed here. Catherine Breckinridge MLC Minister of Trade and Industry Chairwoman of the Grand National Party |
