Bill Shorten says an incoming Labor government would argue forcefully to the Fair Work Commission in favour of an increase to the minimum wage.
The Opposition Leader says, if elected, he would personally write to the independent umpire to call better pay for workers on the award. Mr Shorten made the comments while touring Cairns, where he announced $95 million regional tourism plan. Image: News Corp Australia
