Episode Details

ACT public servants are facing a pivotal moment as the government unveils a new pay deal designed to shield them from inflation’s bite—potentially rewarding workers with up to $1,000 extra if inflation surges past 4%. After nearly a year of tense negotiations, the offer includes a 3% annual base pay hike for three years, plus inflation-linked top-ups, faster superannuation boosts, expanded parental leave (including 18 weeks for non-birthing parents), 3 extra personal days (totaling 10), uncapped violence leave, and double ceremonial leave for First Nations staff. Ballots open late August, closing early September—this could be the deal that averts strikes and keeps the public sector humming.
