What an absolute pile of horse dung.
Of the 41 universities in Australia only 5 are privatised. While strictly deemed independent of Government their employees are regarded as public sectors workers.
The ABC is also regarded as independent of government, in fact it is legislated to be so.
This means their workers are also deemed to be of the public sector but not public servants.
“Today the Federal Government has announced a six-month deferral of wage increases for all Australian Public Service employees to take effect from 14 April for twelve months.
This decision does not apply to the ABC. The ABC’s independence is enshrined in legislation and the ABC’s leadership are under no obligation to apply this to ABC staff.”
