Under Hawke wages increased by 6.7%, cpi out stripped it over the same period, which ended up with real wages being -18% over the wages accord period, as was shown in the chart I posted.
But as usual, you don't let the truth get in the way of one of your stories. ? ?
So maybe some actual history, rather than your spin.

From the article:
Mr Kelty said negotiating the Accord was an incredibly difficult process for unions and the government.

''It was very hard. You were trying to change people's ideas. The government was trying to do dramatic things for the country . . . They were trying to essentially remodel the country.

''What do you think – everybody said 'That's a nice idea - a real wage reduction would be good, can I have another one next year please'?''

Here is some articles from that era.

Anyway as [USER=58631]@SirRumpole[/USER] said we are going way off topic and there is no way we will see it the same way, so best to move on.
I just hope Albo brings a dose of reality back to Labor and get the grass roots members back.
