SIX MONTH PAY FREEZE DISAPPOINTING FOR THOSE ON THE FRONTLINES AGAINST COVID-19

Labor notes the decision by the Morrison Government to defer general wage increases for Commonwealth Public Servants for six months. 

This decision will come as a disappointment for the public servants working hard to protect the safety and welfare of Australians through the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Across the country, public servants are on the frontlines – from staff working in Centrelink offices and the ATO to deliver economic support measures, to those leading our national health response, to scientists at the CSIRO working on a cure.
 
We thank public servants for their significant contribution working on the frontline in the ongoing response to COVID-19.
