SCHOOL SUPPORT WORKERS — WAGE CLAIM CAMPAIGN — PAY DOCKED
I have a supplementary question. Am I to understand the Premier’s comments to mean that he has intervened to overturn the unfair wages policy of his Treasurer, and that he will now negotiate an acceptable and fair wage increase for this group of vital but very low-paid workers? Mr C.J. BARNETT

I have not in any way interfered or intervened in the wages policy of the government. What I have done is what I promised to the employees that I met a couple of hours ago, which was that I would ensure that no-one had their salaries stopped.
