‘Next level weird’: MP’s ‘extinction’ comments slammed

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese will unveil his vision for the Australian workplace on Wednesday evening, warning Scott Morrison he faces a “heavyweight title fight” over worker rights at the next election.
His pitch centres on plans to develop portable annual, sick, and long-service leave to insecure workers, and limit fixed-term contracts to two years.
