Employment Minister Tony Burke does not believe wages growth is about to further fuel inflation, saying pay rates have suffered a decade of stagnation.
Mr Burke also confirmed the previous government's revamped Job Active plan will go ahead from July 1 as planned, although Labor intends to make changes to the new points-based system. "What the government's designed, some of it's more punitive than actually getting the job done," Mr Burke said. "Wage stagnation happened when we were told we couldn't have wage improvements because inflation was low, now some people are arguing we can't have wage improvements because inflation is high."
