Episode Details

The government’s new public sector pay offer is sparking outrage, dubbed “Clayton’s offer” for its misleading promise of cost-of-living payments that likely won’t activate — since inflation projections show it won’t hit the trigger threshold. Unions slam the deal as cynical, especially for low-paid school assistants who do vital work with students with disabilities. The Australian Education Union calls it an “absolute shocker,” while the Community and Public Sector Union is putting the offer to a vote, with members deciding by Monday. Meanwhile, the Public Service Minister defends the offer, claiming ACT public servants are already among the best paid and that better conditions were already secured — though teaching staff negotiations continue with more action set for August third.
