This Week On Q+A: Living Wage, Australia

This Week On Q+A
SUNDAY 6TH OCTOBER, 9AM

On the programme this Sunday, we look at what people earn and why; should the living wage be the minimum wage and how ratepayers could end up picking up the tab for much of it.

Also is a living wage going to be a priority for the Labour party? We'll talk to Labour spokesman Andrew Little.

We speak to the head of the Australian Council of Trade Unions why Aussie workers earn so much more than us and about the growing phenomenon of the casual workforce.

And the only woman in the Australian cabinet tells us why we're lucky to be allowed to live in Australia and why women in politics can't have it all.

On the panel this week: political scientist Dr Jennifer Curtin from Auckland University, NZ Herald columnist Rod Oram and political commentator Matthew Hooton.

Join Susan Wood and Jessica Mutch on Sunday at 9am on TV ONE.
