The Queensland Government has announced a new wages framework providing pay increases of up to 3 per cent to public servants in return for productivity savings.

 

Treasurer Tim Nicholls said that with headline inflation running at 1.6 per cent nationally, the wages framework was "very fair and reasonable and fulfils our commitment to good faith bargaining".

 

“The Newman LNP Government is removing Labor’s arbitrary 2.5 per cent wage cap because we know the public service can and will deliver real benefits through savings and improved productivity in return for higher wages", he said
