"Occasionally I wonder if I will ever get to see a genuine wages breakout,
because in my 30 years of working and 15 years of writing about politics and
economics I have yet to see one, despite regular warnings that one is imminent.
The New South Wales election result immediately brought news that unions (and
please be sitting down, this will shock you) are going to push the Minns
government to give public-sector workers a decent pay rise. I know, unions,
what can you do, eh?
The Australian ran the headline: “Unions pounce to collect pay.” Yes, a scare
campaign about unions pushing for higher public-sector wages when those same
wages in NSW last year grew just 2.5% compared with inflation in NSW of 7.6%."
