    The State Strikes Back: Supervision and Sanctioning of Unlawful Industrial Activity by Federal Government Agencies in Australia
    Hardy, T ; McCrystal, S ; Creighton, B ; Forsyth, A (Federation Press, 2018)
    Historically, the state was seen to have adopted a fairly passive role in relation to the enforcement of the collective norms of the federal industrial relations system. Less than 20 years on, and the state is no longer seen as a mere observer, but as an active participant in the supervision and sanctioning of unlawful industrial activity.

    What's Causing the Wages Slowdown?
    Hardy, T ; Stewart, A ; Stewart, A ; Hardy, T ; Stanford, J (University of Adelaide Press, 2018)
    In this chapter we review some of the factors that seem likely to have contributed to the unusual weakness in Australian wage growth since 2013. Our focus is on the institutions and rules governing the labour market, which as Thomas Piketty notes are important in understanding the ‘dynamics of wage inequality’ in any society. The discussion here should be seen as a preface to some of the more detailed treatments that appear in later chapters. (It also assumes a passing acquaintance with the current system of labour regulation in Australia.

    Conclusion: Wages and Inclusive Growth
    Stewart, A ; Stanford, J ; Hardy, T ; Stewart, A ; Hardy, T ; Stanford, J (University of Adelaide Press, 2018)
    When we set out to produce this book, we had four broad questions in mind. What is the wages crisis? Why is it happening? Why does it matter? And what should we do about it? The first two questions were addressed by the various chapters of this book — although given the complexity and multidimensionality of the wages crisis, there is obviously room for further research and dialogue to refine those explanations. The last question — what to do about it — is one to which we return below. But before that, it may be helpful to revisit the third question, in light of the rich and varied contributions to this collection: why does it matter that we have a wages crisis in Australia, and why should it demand the attention of policy makers and the public at large?

    Australia, We Have a Problem
    Stanford, J ; Hardy, T ; Stewart, A ; Stewart, A ; Stanford, J ; Hardy, T (University of Adelaide Press, 2018)
    Central bankers are supposed to be a rather dour lot. They are charged, after all, with maintaining the monetary and financial integrity of the whole economy. They cultivate a public reputation as prudent, cautious guardians of price stability — an independent, reliable force, ready to pounce at the first signs of economic overheating and inflationary pressure. They are the ones who come in to take away the punch bowl, just when the economic party is getting started.
