Stephen Cenatiempo:

The Member for Fenner, Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, Dr Andrew Leigh. Good morning Andrew.

Andrew Leigh:

Good morning Stephen, good to be with you.

Ross Solly:

Good afternoon everyone,

Or as Alfred Deakin might have said if he were around today:

‘Welcome to the most fiscally fraught federation on earth’

On behalf of the Prime Minister and the Education Minister, I’m delighted to welcome you to the National Schools Constitutional Convention.

Georgia Stynes:

Our guest is the Labor Member for Fenner, Dr Andrew Leigh, who has been listening into this previous conversation and joins us. Good afternoon.

Andrew Leigh:

Good afternoon Georgia, great to be with you.

Stynes:

It’s terrific to be with you and I’m sorry we’re not meeting in person in the Great Hall today. I acknowledge that I’m on Ngunnawal land today, and acknowledge all First Nations people joining us.

Tom Connell:

Katy Gallagher:

The Albanese Government is taking action to stop unfair non‑compete clauses that are holding back Australian workers from switching to better, higher‑paying jobs.

We will ban non‑compete clauses for most workers that have no justification and drag down wages.

This Budget is backing workers, boosting wages and building a stronger economy.

Cenatiempo:

Let’s talk federal politics with the Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury, and the Member for Fenner, Andrew Leigh. Good morning.

Leigh:

Good morning Stephen. Happy Budget day!
