    ........ You have an ex-Labor Premier going in to bat for the most profitable companies in the nation (by far) while real wages in Australia have been failing to keep pace with inflation since 2009......

    1. Microsoft, Google et al hide their profits overseas, making any comparison of company profits in Australia impossible.
    2. The LNP has been in power for the last 4 years of the 8 years since 2009 and, obviously from the above statement, done nothing about real wages except attempt to reduce penalty rates.
