It's the year 2026 and the ABC is still pulling this shit.

I do not give a rats arse if a "small business" wants to complain about paying a livable income to their staff. If they cannot do this, they have no place running a business.

There is no special right to make money while other people can't afford to pay their rent or buy food. When you own the business you shouldn't simply expect to make money regardless of how you treat humans.

This crap makes me really cranky and it's why I stop even looking at the news for months at a time.
Bullshit news headline about how wage rises are forcing businesses to close.
