Senator Barbara Pocock says unpaid super is costing workers at least $3.3bn a year, while wage theft losses are about $1.3bn
The construction union’s national secretary, Zach Smith, said while criminalising wage theft nationally “is an important first step”, unpaid super should have been “included in this bill, but if not it should be included in future changes to wage theft laws”.
Given the Coalition opposes the bill, Labor will need the Greens’ 11 Senate votes to pass it, along with two more crossbench votes. On Monday Jones said that “payday super, phased in by 2026, should reduce the problem to zero because the wages and superannuation are being paid at the same point in time”.
