So, the only people in this situation that do not have to do anything, as luck would have it, is us.
Would Australians who do not support such a system, expect to be helped if the situation were reversed? And they needed the system.
So, are we going to forgo that pay increase?

It is easier to pledge to give more to charity [or to the lowest paid worker}, if we can do it later, when the pay increase comes. A kind of buy now, pay later.
Now this system is not going to end all poverty. Yet, doing nothing at all seems to be an even better way to ensure the system fails.
A response to the claim that our efforts would achieve little is not to give nothing, but to give more.
