The Industrial Arbitration Commission announces a phased raise of the male minimum wage for adult women, with 85 percent of the new minimum from May 23, rising to 91 percent by September, and full parity by next June. It rejects automatic nationwide wage increases, cites inflation risks, and notes data gaps. The ruling aims to equalize pay for equal work citing 1972 principles and assigns costs in the low millions yearly.
