The rights of Indigenous workers are under attack.

The Liberal Government are backing laws that force Indigenous people into work, not for wages, only welfare.

Indigenous workers are:

  • Forced to work 25 hours a week and earn $11.20/hour
  • Not entitled to superannuation
  • Not entitled to our workplace employment standards
  • Are excluded from Federal OHS & Workers Comp laws
  • Able to be exploited as a free source of labour for private businesses

Generations have fought for a fair and equal Australia – the Liberals are taking us backwards. Indigenous people have the power to change government.  In many Federal electorates across the country our population % exceeds the % needed to win that seat.

Enrol to vote today, use your power to vote in the next Federal election putting the Liberals last and lets change government.
