A fair go education system: the advantages for all of us
Tip of the Hat
Carmen Lawrence, Australian Labor Party
As well, Australian workers have not received their fair share of the rapid productivity growth of the 1990s and the dispersion of income has become more unequal. Earnings have grown much faster for managers and those in professions and trades than for labourers, clerical and service workers. It is an affront to our egalitarian values that CEO and senior management earnings have grown at ten times the rate of award pay rates over the last decade producing a current ratio of 20:1, a figure exceeded only by the United States.
