In 1971 the Commonwealth Public Service awarded second division raises around 17 percent, with broad relativities prompting expectations of higher adjustments for first division staff and university personnel. The piece argues inflation, not productivity, drives wage growth, criticizing limited government action and calling for firmer wage restraint to slow the erosion of the dollar and curb strikes such as the Shop Assistants Union threat during the Christmas period.

Time for change at Treasury in Australia’s future
The piece argues for reform at Australia’s Treasury with Sir Frederick Wheeler as a potential new Secretary. It discusses the department’s aging instruments, the clash between laissez faire growth and planning, and the need for a multidisciplinary, modern approach. It notes the board’s past reforms, Stone’s think tank role, and the pressure to decentralize and modernize policy making. It warns of long term risks if Treasury resists change.
