Cahill plans to demand price pegging in policy clash
The Premier Cahill signals a push for price pegging amid Commonwealth and Storage policy disagreements. Treasury plans windfall propositions, with a possible 3d rise in the basic wage and a delay in new public service recruitment. A regional regulation to end cost of living adjustments is expected at the August conference between Premiers and the Commonwealth, following earlier refusals to pass Federal award adjustments to state workers.
