A win for workers, an endorsement of our agenda

The result of the recent federal election was a resounding win for working Australians, including finance workers.

Together, we put forward our positive case for better job security and workplace rights, higher wages, and a more equal society – and Australians overwhelmingly voted for a government that supports the interests of working people. 

Thanks to every single FSU member and rep who stood up, spoke out and got involved. Because of you, Australia didn’t risk Dutton and the hard-won workplace rights we’ve fought for together have been protected. 

Not only that, we now have a real opportunity to keep advancing important work for finance workers and the whole union movement by working productively with the Albanese Government. 

In particular, we congratulate and look forward to working with these key ministers for a fair and ethical finance sector, and on important industry issues like gender equality and AI regulation:  

  • Dr. Daniel Mulino – Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Financial Services 
  • Amanda Rishworth – Employment and Workplace Relations Minister 
  • Tim Ayres – Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science 
  • Katy Gallagher – Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Government Services.
