CWN Editor's Note: The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference welcomed a 4.75% increase in the nation’s minimum wage, months after the conference called for a 5% increase.
“Our goal must be, as Pope Leo states, to ‘enable each person to live with dignity through his or her own work,’ as well as ensure there is just compensation for that work,” said Bishop Columba Macbeth-Green of Wilcannia-Forbes, the bishops’ delegate for employment relations. (Bishop Macbeth-Green was citing Magnifica Humanitas.)
