Minimum Wage Setting and the Australian Fair Pay Commission Download

Description:

In his speech to federal parliament on 26 May 2005, the Prime Minister announced that the government, as part of its new package of industrial relations reforms, intended to transfer responsibility for setting and varying minimum wages and other rates of pay in awards from the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) to a newly created Australian Fair Pay Commission (AFPC). While the explicit rationale for this change is not clearly enunciated in the speech, the implied presumption is that such a change will help foster increased employment, continued productivity growth or both.
