Appeals on Wage Rates Dismissed in Melbourne Full Court
The Victorian Full Court dismissed an appeal testing whether Unemployed Relief Act wages on relief works were lower than A W L award rates. The case, brought by Edmond O Keefe against the Country Roads Board, centers on wage differences for relief workers versus active workers. The appeal failed as the complainant was not employed by the defendant. The matter has bounced through petty sessions and practice courts to the Full Court and High Court without a final decision on the core issue.
