Part 7/12:
The current Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has expressed reservations about the immediate adoption of a four-day workweek, at least publicly. However, behind the scenes, unions are pushing for it, and their influence arguably shapes Labor’s policies. Every Labour MP is a member of a union, and these organizations often set the agenda through funding and negotiations. Critics argue that this creates a situation where union desires directly impact national policy, sometimes without sufficient public consultation.
