Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS CANBERRA 000987 SIPDIS STATE FOR EAP/ANP, DRL/IL AND EB STATE PASS TO USTR FOR WEISEL/COEN LABOR FOR ILAB E.O.12958: N/A TAGS: PGOV, PREL, ELAB, ECON, KTDB, AS SUBJECT: Australia: Labor Commission Lifts Minimum Wage REF: CANBERRA 944 The Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) on June 7 raised the hourly minimum wage by 3.6 percent to A$12.75, or $9.70 per hour (A$1 = US$0.76). The minimum pay for the standard 38 hour work week is now A$484.40, or $368. The raise will affect Australia's 1.6 million lowest paid workers who are covered by federal and state employment contracts, or "awards." The AIRC handed down the increase in what is expected to be its final ruling on the minimum wage because the Government has announced a major package of labor law reforms, including the creation of a Fair Pay Commission to set the minimum wage in future (reftel).
