In other news, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) revealed this morning that inflation fell to 6 per cent in the year to June. The annual inflation rate was at 7 per cent in the March quarter.

Meanwhile, we continue to liaise closely with government and industry on the ongoing Industrial Relations reforms, including the Federal Government’s plan to transition casual workers to permanent employees which gained media attention this week.
The devil will be in the detail of the legislation, and we look forward to seeing the draft and providing member feedback to government.
As retail crime continues to severely impact our sector, we continue to work closely with authorities and to highlight member concerns to government and in the media. We will have more announcements in the coming weeks.
