State Basic Wage Increase Debate in Brisbane
In Brisbane on October 27 the wage case for workers on the basic wage was heard. AL Coneybeer argued that an increased minimum by 1s for males and 2s 6d for females would cost Queensland 15 million a year and trigger higher prices and quarterly payments. He warned a federal decision should not bind the state, saying any wage rise would be temporary and boost costs for commodities and farmers. Some trade union officials doubted benefits without greater production, while others supported faster employer efforts. Coneybeer claimed the base wage earner is an extinct species and urged quarterly adjustments to reflect costs of living. The hearing adjourned to November 8.
