Dr. Bambrick mentioned a consensual approach and the problems associated with it. I want to unpack that. The unions did not agree with the proposed increase in the minimum wage. It does not look very consensual when the body representing the vast majority of workers in this country did not consent to this inadequate increase. Can she explain that?
