just CPI increases that are already accounted for?
The Government requires pay rises for ADF members to follow the same general pay setting principles that apply to the wider community. Pay hasnt been tied to increases in inflation for more than a decade. Pay rises are not an automatic right: they must be earned. The aim for the ADF is to have a fair and equitable process that recognises the limitations imposed by the special nature of ADF service. Theres no union, you cant strike and are subject to military discipline. Its simply a process that recognises the contribution of the work force to increases in the productivity, efficiency and performance of an organisation.
