The Fair Work Commission's Decision to Increase Minimum Wage

The Fair Work Commission made an 8.6% increase for the tens of thousands on the national minimum. But then 5.75% increase for more than 2 million workers whose pay is set by an award. Did you think that was too much too far? And what evidence did you know Cosboa give before the Commission came to that decision? We would consider those rates to be higher than what we asked for and asked for publicly, Pauline says.
