Chalmers promotes ALP’s economic strategy

Rankin MP Jim Chalmers has been out on the hustings promoting the federal Labor Party’s industrial relations policy, saying it offers more secure work with better pay and fairer conditions.

He said people can choose between that or more cuts to pay, less secure work and more cuts to super, which is what the Coalition is offering.

Mr Chalmers, who is also the shadow Treasurer, said the ALP wants to work with the business community in places like Logan City to make sure they can address the very real challenges in the economy which existed before COVID.

“The government’s industrial relations changes won’t address those very real challenges we have in the economy. If anything, they will make them worse,” he said.

“And that’s why we’re opposed to them.”
