Thawed freeze: Government softens stance on public sector pay restraint following backlash

The Government has softened its stance on restraining public sector pay following two meetings with furious unions. It will now review the policy a year earlier and will consider cost-of-living increases for public servants on moderate incomes.

Employees pocketing between $60,000 and $100,000 would have to prove exceptional circumstances to be eligible for an increase.
