‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Minimum wage increase
Summary
The Leader said the minimum wage had been increased three times and challenged Craughwell to account for his own record. Craughwell replied that he had forced the issue through union work.
On a point of order, the Leader should know it is great to have that number working but quite a significant number are living in income poverty.
Comment on this
I inform Senator Craughwell that under this Government and its predecessor, the minimum wage was increased three times? He should ask himself whether he voted for it?

I forced it during my time as president of a union.

I have the Senator's texts about consulting on votes.
