My statement came across as a great headline for a socialist website eh :O) but this is a very interesting turn for a Labor government... (I remember our NDP getting elected in Ontario provincially, and labour here thought they were in heaven... Then the NDP started rolling wages back !!)

It was an interview with Julia Gillard Deputy PM on on CNBC Asia yesterday evening... unfortunately CNBC only has the touchy feely part of the interview posted that I can find.. not the meat... Maybe I'll put the question to our Australian reporter on the 2001 thread. It seems to be tied to an issue they fought their election on it seems and now the opposition (only months out of power) is supporting them..

This was earlier stuff..
Treasurer Wayne Swan threw out the challenge after Wednesday's horrible inflation figures. "What I would say to everybody, employers, employees or unions, is that there will need to be some restraint to get us through this inflationary problem." Industrial Relations Minister Julia Gillard warned yesterday: "Wage increases have to be about productivity gains."
