Court upholds abolition of the basic wage
A Full High Court ruling dismisses the Australia Council of Trade Unions appeal challenging the abolition of the basic wage. Six judges led by Chief Justice Barwick uphold the commission decision which eliminates the basic wage from federal awards, affirming the move toward a total wage concept. The decision affects about two million workers under federal awards and signals broader wage-fixing flexibility for employers and industry groups.
