"... When you don't have enough money to buy yourself a coffee, the person running that small business making coffees doesn't get that income, so ... there's a contracting effect. Every time the government reduces the ability of people to earn money, that has a flow-on effect, affecting everybody."

#RachelMackintosh, National Secretary, E tū Union, 2025
