Weekend Wrap 31st July 2022: Albo announces Voice question, grim economic outlook inspires rapid Labor agenda and rebalancing workplace power

"The Week on Wednesday" with Van Badham & Ben Davison

Ben Davison looks at Prime Minister Albanese's Insiders interview from Garma where he outlined his plan for the constitutional referendum and the enshrinement of the indigenous Voice to parliament.

How the Voice comes into being will depend on winning the referendum and Ben analyses the approach Albo is taking to make sure he wins the debate.

The 1st week of the 47th parliament saw a flurry of legislation. Ben examines why aged care reforms, emission reduction targets scrapping the cashless debit card and childcare are both good social policy but will also improve productivity and lift participation.

The state of Australia's economy is a shambles after a decade of coalition mismanagement that has seen record corporate profits, record wage cuts, misuse of government funds and huge skills gaps. Dutton's response? To attack unions, attack workers, dismiss government policy and reject the invitation to Garma.

Along with the policies before the parliament Ben discusses why the Jobs and Skills summit must rebalance the power in our economy to lift wages before 2024.
