Workers from the Mosaic collapse have already been offered assistance under the federal government’s scheme to pay out workers missing entitlements.
They’re getting a bit of a bailout.

I know they aren’t a car manufacturer or a mine so I guess no bail out from the government.

They’re paying the workers directly for their missing entitlements? That’s astonishingly good of the government.

I mean they’re probably paying the CEO and asking that the CEO pass it onto the workers. The CEO’ll likely pay off their credit card or get some work done on their frown lines from all the stress.

Fuuuuck. It’s so true it hurts. Satire, sometimes, is only funny for a second.
