Good hopefully it stops ppl being lazy and cook their own food or get it themselves.

What is it with all these politicians attacking One Nation?
Everyone should brush it off when these loudmouths don't back their babble with solid proof.

How many of these "Gig" workers are getting award wages and paying tax ? So many would be paid under the table and would avoid tax. An award pay rise wont help those workers, its just to create a good look for Labor !!

Prove who they are? I often get deliveries from someone using someone else's account - Different to profile image, different rego and vehicle too - more often than not.

Somebody is going to pay and it wont be the businesses, it will be consumers and restaurants that pay this

'Moment of satisfaction --> eternity of pain': isn't it the way with having a baby?

When you have no policy to speak of, take a page out of Labor’s playbook.

Whether they get a 25% raise or 2500% raise doesn't matter at this late stage. Cold soggy food is not worth paying for. Send them all home... now. They can study their BS on zoom. They are persona non grata as far as I'm concerned.

I think it will wake people up as with everything when introduced it was cheap.
Well it isn’t cheap anymore and it is about to get a lot worse

"Won't hurt productivity"? Really??
It will kill it, or decimate it to the point where home delivery is the luxury of the super rich only.
Which is better? Small money without 25% on top, or NOTHING??
You won't get blood out of a stone.
