Court Refuses To Alter State Basic Wage
The Brisbane court, led by President Justice Barry and judges Dwyer and Harvey, rejected applications from industrial unions seeking wage increases and from employers seeking decreases in the state basic wage. The decision flags that quarterly adjustments of the all items wage index may be considered later, and notes the court heard claims spanning March and April. The Queensland Employers Federation warned the ruling ends the year’s practice of adjusting the index, while unions argued for a weekly increase and employers sought alignment with national trends.
