gee, so great to see this celebration of innovation that includes paying disabled people as little as $3 per hour, by a company that got $2m in financing. /s www.smartcompany.com.au/transport-lo...

We can confirm that @animaljusticeparty.bsky.social's national position is to support fair wages/at least minimum wage for disabled people. We received a submission for them 2 weeks ago through the online form but didn't want to publish w/o confirmation. Thanks AJP!

(Very short) thread of NT candidates and their positions. @greens.org.au Blair McFarland is the sole respondent supporting minimum wage in Lingiari.

Does your party support ALL workers receiving at least minimum wage? Candidates were asked if they agree: We oppose the practice of paying disabled workers subminimum wage. It is unacceptable that in 2025 disabled people living in Australia can be paid as little as $3.01 per hour, while the minimum wage for others is $24.10 per hour.

LINGIARI
Blair McFarland (GRN) - YES
Peter Flynn (ACP) - No response
Lisa Siebert (CLP) - No response
Chris Tomlins (IAPA) - No response
Sakellarios Bairamis (PHON) - No response
Marion Scrymgour, MP (ALP) - No response, Party NO

If you care to learn about the history of subminimum wage, the first political party to support its abolition was the US Republican Party, which adopted it into its national platform in 2016. In many US states, Democrats were the barrier because of their relationship with unions.

Hello! I'm a different volunteer posting in this account now (Our Fair Go is all disabled volunteers). We have all of the electorates posted with image descriptions on Twitter, but I don't think I'll be able to post all of them in a timely manner w/ image descriptions.
