Prospect of Labor-Government Accommodation Under Fraser Era
A year after the Whitlam collapse and Fraser’s interim appointment, early expectations of a Lib-Nat government bringing national disaster faded. Recent Canberra talks between ministers and union leaders show significant cooperation, with no decisions yet but plans for detailed follow-up. The shift toward countervailing power suggests potential wage restraint and budget measures to sustain real disposable incomes in 1976-77, while unions demand tax relief and indexed incomes. The outcome hinges on moderation within the ACTU and Labor ranks as they weigh wage policy versus deficit concerns.
